Keep Me Safe

 Keep me safe, my God, for in you I take refuge. Psalm 16:1

Isn't it good to know that we have a place of safety. A place of refuge from the pursuit of danger trouble or harm.  We have that in Christ as we trust in Him.  I am glad to know, blessed, that I can cry out to God to keep me safe from the troubles of this world.

Yes, I know that I will have trials, but with God at my right hand I will not be shaken (Psalm 16:8). Reading this verse, I feel God's love for me.  I feel His protection and strength.  I feel His energy motivating me to conquer the day.

There are also a couple of things that stand out.  The author ask His God to keep him safe.  There is an acknowledgment of a personal relationship. I want my Father, my Lord, and my King to keep me safe.  There is also a belief that He can.  Faith is involved as we seek refuge in the One Who is able to save.  

My heart cries out to God today to keep me safe.  Keep me safe from the enemy that would seek to discourage me.  Keep my children safe. Guard our hearts and minds with your love and peace.  Keep me safe from distractions that would seek to take my eyes off of You.  Be my refuge and may I stay safe in your arms.   

Thank You for being a safe place Lord.  Thank You for allowing us to cry out to You knowing that we will be heard.  Thank You for being our Protector.  Thank You for being Sovereign and all powerful. May we keep our faith in You.  In Jesus name.  Amen
