MEDITATION

Where do you run when tumultuous times come your way? It had better be where you are already residing – the solace and security of the LORD. It is time to establish our dwelling in His mighty hand. I know where I physically dwell because I return to this house each and every day. I eat here. I sleep here. I reside here and it is my earthly solace. It is likewise in the spiritual. I choose to reside in the LORD. He is my security and my high tower. Moment by moment I willingly choose to go to Him and dwell in His presence. Today, assess where you dwell. Be assured that your refuge is in the mighty hands of the LORD.
