DAILY READINGS: Numbers 28:1-31; Proverbs 24:1-34; Luke 2:1-21
Safety is of the Lord. Proverbs 21:31
Someone has said, “When nothing is left that is sacred, nothing is safe.” Seeing the moral decay around us we wonder, have we reached that point? The Bible is banned from many public places and prayer too is not allowed. Schools have lockdowns and even worship centres are targeted for crime. While our physical safety may be hazarded, if our souls are anchored in Christ we are sheltered—in the arms of God. Proverbs 18:10 tells us “The name of the Lord is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe.” He is our hiding place. Embrace this promise for eternal peace. —E. Dyck
Tho’ the night be dark around me I am safe for He is near;
Never shall my foes confound me, while the Saviour’s voice I hear. —Avis B. Christansen
