Our Ultimate Safe Haven

Week 5: The Word of God

Hearing the word of God is our ultimate safe haven.
Proverbs 19: 16, Nahum 1: 7-8

The most secure location is surrendered and locked into Jesus. You cannot prepare entirely for what is unforeseen but you can be kept ready to respond to the unforeseen when your faith is in God.

March 15, 1989. I would have been on my way from our home in Nashville to Greensboro College. I had been invited to sing and preach for Thursday morning chapel the next day. But after saying “Yes” to this breakthrough opportunity I had to call them back and cancel. I couldn’t say why. I didn’t know why but I felt such uneasiness about going I made the call.

March 14, 1989. I was into my second week of my new job at Trabue, Sturdivant, & DeWitt. That night, my parents called asking me for my work number. It was late. They couldn’t give me a reason they waited up so late. They just felt as if they needed the number.

The next morning, March 15, 1989, my sister, Janet was in a very serious car wreck. We went straight home when we got the call. What set of circumstances do you believe God has had you change? Remind yourself of a time when God has kept you safe and available to respond in a moment of crisis.
