"God's name is a place of protection-good people can run there and be safe." Proverbs 18:10 The Message
"For Thou has been a defense for the helpless, A defense for the needy in his distress, A refuge from the storm, a shade from the heat; For the breath of the ruthless is like a rainstorm against a wall." Isaiah 25:4 NAS
Are you feeling a bit tossed about? Are you drifting?
Know GOD has a safe place for you to land. Like this piece of driftwood, sitting at the top of a sand dune, HE has a perfect place with an awesome view for you. Not only does HE have a landing place, HE will give you a birds eye view of eternity from HIS heart to yours.
Enjoying the view,
Andrea
So thankful He is my strong tower to run to and be safe. I really need this today as I walk through this crazy, unpredictable world.

Great analogy. Lately I have felt like that piece of driftwood. I am waiting for the Lord . . . to place me on the shore.

Oh Andrea, I needed to hear this word today! Feeling God's whisper, "Peace, be still."
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Beth
Thank you, Andrea~
ReplyDeleteI really needed this. Oh, to spend eternity with Him.......BEAUTIFUL!
Blessings~
Laura
Your analogies are so beautiful! I love how you see God in everything. Truly inspiring! :-)
ReplyDeleteAmen!
ReplyDeleteThank God for Jesus!
May God bless you all! :)
That was such a beautiful picture and message today. A song kept coming to me as I read, about a shelter and a high tower, but that may have been another scripture. Anyway, it was nicely written.
ReplyDeleteThank you :) I love it!
ReplyDeleteMorning Andrea :)
ReplyDeleteWe mortals can't hear this often enough! His plans & purposes for His own are beyond belief.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Kathleen
That's what I rely on everyday!
ReplyDeleteLove Di ♥
He definitely is a safe place to fall....beautiful Andrea...gentle post and the music just enhances these words....Pretty Amazing Grace....Thank God for pretty amazing grace....
ReplyDeleteSuch a great promise. Needed to hear and cherish this in my heart. Thanks for sharing Andrea! Blessings.
ReplyDeleteOh wow, the picture brings back many wonderful memories for me. We used to go to the beach often when we were younger. He is our rock when we are feeling tossed about as the driftwood was tossed upon the shore!
ReplyDeleteI love that picture. It took me back to those wonderful times my family and I shared when we went camping by the ocean. And you're right, the view was amazing if you're standing on top of those dunes. God bless sister. Thank you for this.
ReplyDeleteAmen...that brief glimpse of eternity always does me in.....
ReplyDeleteWhat a truly wonderful post. Thank you for sharing this with us today
ReplyDeleteLove

I am feeling tossed about lately.
ReplyDeleteI must draw closer to God.
I am being tossed all over the place and want off!! But I know deep down there is a reason. Tell me please God!
ReplyDeleteSweet lady, your post today is something I will be meditating on tonight in my resting.. I love this analogy - and the fact that even in the drifting times of my faith, I am assured, that His place is right beside me all along the way.. Blessings sister, you are loved!
ReplyDeleteI need that safe place. He will get me there. Thank you :O)
ReplyDeleteLove this...
ReplyDeleteReminds me of a song I love by Staci Frenes with the lines, "We all need a safe place to land cause we're fragile after all."
Amen.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. Thank you, Andrea.
ReplyDeleteThat verse from Proverbs has always held great meaning and the verse from Isaiah adds to it. Thanks for sharing this today.
ReplyDeleteBlessings to you my friend...
ReplyDeleteOkay thanks for letting me know that the button was not working. I fixed it so you can go to the right side bar and copy the code. Thank you and God Bless
ReplyDeleteYou've been eavesdropping on my phone conversations again...my daughter and I talk about this and encourage each other in our pain.
ReplyDeleteYou write beautifully,
Mary
The craziness and chaos of this world seem to increase, so it is good to know God has a safe and quiet place in Him for us.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great thought to hide in our hearts!
ReplyDeleteWasted a lot of years avoiding the safety of God.
love and hugs~Tammy
I get such comfort on what you are led to share with us, that I often come back and re-read. Thanks Andrea. Blessings.
ReplyDeleteThis was beautiful Andrea ... had me in tears. I need that safe place to land today. God bless you ... Aine :)
ReplyDeleteJust wanted to pop over and say good morning Andrea. This was a great post. I especially love.... "God will give you a birds eye view of eternity from HIS heart to yours." What a wonderful thought. Have an awesome day. Hugs, Debbie
ReplyDeleteAlways such lovely encouraging thoughts here Andrea...thanks for that!
ReplyDeleteHi Andrea, both picture and post reminds me of "Footprints in the sand", which is one of favorite little pieces of writing.
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks to you too for stopping by Gods Little People and your kind comments.
Hugs,
Joan
A beautiful picture and great way to describe a life not being guided by His hand. Drifting, I can relate.
ReplyDeleteI am well-but so very busy at work and at home so my blog visits are slim these days. But I am trying to catch up. Thank you for asking about me on Chester's blog.
Have a lovely Spring!
Chester's Mom ;0-)
even when we're not in a storm, it's good to know He's there when (not if) the time comes...and that we don't have to be tossed headlong! Praise God!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat scripture Andrea! Thanks for sharing it with us.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Beth
What a comfort it is to know that!
ReplyDeleteI really love this, it's so true, God has protection and safety for us!
ReplyDeletehugs,
Debra
Dear Andrea,
ReplyDeleteWill you put me on your prayer list? I am having a hard time with a co-worker. She is a Christian but is very harsh and abrupt. I have asked God to change my heart toward her.
Blessings sweet lady!
I'm so grateful that He's my refuge. So grateful that He can provide a perspective that looks beyond what's right in front of me.
ReplyDeleteAndrea I am in Virginia Beach so we are close! :o)
ReplyDeleteMy birthday isn't actually until August 30, but I thought maybe I would put it out there...lol could be a GREAT day! You probably had to pass me to get to Hatteras :o)
I think we all feel like a piece of drift wood as some time or other....God does know where we are and He knows His plan for us. (Love the beach pix)
ReplyDeleteThank you very much for your comment, it means a lot!.
ReplyDeleteHave a blessed week.
This truth is what gets me up each morning! Thanks for visiting my blog so I could find yours.
ReplyDeleteHeart warming truth, touching deep within, assuring us of God's loving care to keep us safe in a refuge from the storm. Thank you for sharing this. God bless.
ReplyDeleteAnd he brought me up out of the pit of destruction, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock; he hath established my goings. Psalm 40: 2.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the encouraging footprints that you leave on my blog!
Great post, Andrea! Love this message and needed it many times!
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!!
Hugs,
Coreen
