“God is a safe place to hide, ready to help when we need Him. We stand fearless at the cliff-edge of doom, courageous in seastorm and earthquake, before the rush and roar of oceans, the tremors that shift mountains. Jacob-wrestling God fights for us, God-of-Angel-Armies protects us. River fountains splash joy, cooling God’s city, this sacred haunt of the Most High. God lives here, the streets are safe, God at your service from crack of dawn. Godless nations rant and rave, kings and kingdoms threaten, but Earth does anything He says. Jacob-wrestling God fights for us, God-of-Angel-Armies protects us. Attention, all! See the marvels of God! He plants flowers and trees all over the earth, bans war from pole to pole, breaks all the weapons across his knee. ‘Step out of the traffic! Take a long, loving look at Me, your High God, above politics, above everything.’ Jacob-wrestling God fights for us, God-of-Angel-Armies protects us.”
Psalm 46:1-11 (MSG)

Notice what our Father says, “Step out of traffic! Take a long, loving look at Me, your high God, above politics, above everything.” In other words, stop, take time off the treadmill you’ve been on. It is most likely wearing you out. Refocus your attention on Me, says the Lord, I am your safe place, ready to help wherever and whenever you need Me. And be encouraged by His Word that tells us in Romans 8:31 (NLT), “What shall we say about such wonderful things as these? If God is for us, who can ever be against us?”

I John 4:4 (NKJV) says, “You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.” Be encouraged by His Word in these 3 scriptures to put your trust in God who really knows all along the plans that He has for you!
