I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, Lord, only makest me dwell in safety. Psalm 4:8 (Reference Psalm 4)
This morning, I woke up singing the safest place. The lyrics go like this: The safest place in the whole wide world is in the will of God. Though trials be great and the way seems hard, it's in the will of God. It may be on a mountain peak or in the valley low but wherever, wherever, wherever, wherever it may be, if God says go, Go. Although, it sounds simple and to the point, it may not feel like it is, but sometimes, we have to be reminded where our refuge and our trust lies.
David tells us here that he will lay down in peace and sleep because only the Lord can make him dwell in safety and without fear and because he has given over everything to the Lord, he can rest with assurance in Him. It’s a reminder to us, that in spite of all that is going on around us, we can find the peace of God and begin to rest with confidence. Most times, when our minds are not at peace, when we are worried or concerned about a thing, it hinders us and we can’t find rest for our soul; our minds are on overload and therefore ending in sleepless and restless nights. It should not be, especially if we put our trust in God and believe that He is watching over us, keeping us with His right hand and preserving us for His purpose.
Yes, the enemy is loose and running rampant in our lives, in our families, on our jobs, in our homes, in our schools, in our churches, in our government and around the world; he is just causing havoc everywhere (may I remind you that this is his job). We must know that the safest place for us in the Lord’s hand. He is in control of all things. No matter what we face, no matter the turmoil, we can dwell safely and we can lay down in peace and sleep in His hands, our safe haven.
I don’t know what you are facing today or what you have been dealing with, but know this, the Lord we serve is not a man that He should lie and He has promised to keep His own and only He can make you dwell in safety. We must put our confidence in Him because He and only He alone has the power to keep us safe, there is no other. I am reminded of the scripture in Jeremiah that says, "Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh:is there anything too hard for me?" We can find safety in those words alone, amen?
Let the peace of God rest, rule and abide in you today, as we remember that the safest place in the whole wide world is in the will of God. Stay there, rest there and sleep peacefully with confidence in Him.
Until the morning, be blessed,
Cynde
