Where can I go for a holiday? Where is it safe? A nice warm part of this world to relax would be great, but is it safe there? Even staying at home can be risky. How can we know we are safe when we stay at home and hide in our familiar surroundings?

Before I think any further the hymn by Ira D. Sankey comes to mind “ The Lord’s our Rock, in Him we hide, A Shelter in the time of storm.” There are many storms in the world.

It does not matter where we go, but anywhere with Jesus we can safely go. When we know Jesus in a personal way and he is our Rock, it does not matter where we go, or if we stay home, because we know that we are on the Lord’s side and He will take care of us. Then we can be assured that in the end we will be “Safe in the Arms of Jesus” by Fanny Crosby.

Deuteronomy 33:27 tells us that “God is thy refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms.” We need to put our trust in God.
