Blessing For Todayគំរូ

Safe Zone 

In the Biblical times, God told Joshua to build cities of refuge where the life of the accused will not be put to risk by the arbitrary actions of the avenger of blood. The accused was taken care of in the city of refuge where he had sought refuge. The refugee is never punished in that place. Even today, there are some countries which gives refuge! 

Many years ago, a businessman operated against his country’s laws and cheated the government of many crores of rupees. He fled to the Dominican Republic as a refugee. When a person flees to this particular place, he or she is protected from the laws of the world. No government can take action against them. He or she cannot be arrested or punished. But, one day when he went to London, the INTERPOL (International Criminal Police Organization) nabbed him. 

Cities of refuge reflect the heart of God, for the human race. Yes, cities of refuge were established as a safe haven for people who had done something wrong knowingly or unknowingly, even in ancient times. For every hurting heart, the “city of refuge” is not a place but a Person – He is the God who loves you with an everlasting, unconditional love. In your failures, wrong doings and loss, Jesus is your safe refuge. Do not hesitate to run to Him at any time. 

Prayer

“Loving Father, I thank You for being my city of refuge at all times. Thank You for forgiving me and providing all my needs at all times. Help me to forgive others. I choose not to run away from you at any time. You are my refuge. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.” 

‘Jesus – Our refuge at all times’
