SAFE IN THE ARMS OF GOD!

SAFE IN THE ARMS OF GOD


WHERE is your safe place?
Where is your stronghold?


EVERY MORNING I wake up
Not knowing where the day
May take me


Sometimes a little fear
Sometimes a little trepidation
But I needn't worry


Because I am
SAFE in the ARMS OF GOD


And the first thing
I do every day
Is open my BIBLE


Say my daily prayers
And do my ROSARY


For I am in my SAFE PLACE
I am being held up
By the arms of GOD


“YOU have been my stronghold
My refuge in the day of distress” Psalm 59:17


WHEN I think of a stronghold
I think of a modern day army fort


But when I think of MY STRONGHOLD-
When I think of you and me-
Our being SAFE


I think of God-
With his arms outstretched
ENCIRCLING you and me
And protecting us


We are ALL
SAFE in the arms of GOD


“For in the day of trouble
He will KEEP me safe
In his dwelling


He will hide me
In the shelter
Of his sacred tent


And set me
HIGH upon a rock” Psalm 29:5


“The name of the Lord
Is a fortified tower


The righteous run to it
AND ARE SAFE” Proverbs 18:10


“WE know that anyone
BORN OF GOD
Does not continue
To sin


The ONE who was born
Of God
KEEPS them safe


And the evil one
Cannot harm them” 1 John 5:18


We are SAFE in
The ARMS of God


Every day
We should take TIME alone
With God in prayer


We should do this
During ordinary times-
We should make it a habit


For when the difficult times come
When the problems come
We will KNOW
Right where to go


And we will know
The evil one cannot touch us


The world can be an UNCERTAIN
And dangerous place
But GOD is OUR REFUGE
At all times
Particularly in times of trouble


“I will say of the Lord,
'HE is my refuge
And my FORTRESS
My God-in whom I TRUST'” Psalm 91:2


Our God-OUR Lord Jesus-
IS our safety net


With prayer-with God
We are:


SAFE IN THE ARMS OF GOD-
And of LOVE
