Peace Beyond Understanding
What makes you feel safe?
Is it your lockable flyscreen door? Having money to spare? Feeling protected by the people around you?
There’s a lot that can cause us fear and have us desiring security. Whether it’s economic concerns and the constant messages of uncertainty surrounding what the future will look like, our own anxieties, or being exposed to the realities of crime, feeling afraid isn’t uncommon.
In Psalm 8, though, we learn about a safety that comes from trust in God. And based on that trust, the writer found peace.
Our circumstances aren’t always guaranteed to make us feel safe or inherently secure, but what we can trust in is God. He is our ultimate security regardless of circumstance and regardless of outcome.
What a weight off our shoulders to know that dwelling with God means dwelling in eternal safety.
