A private sanctuary for all times

"The the Lord said to Joshua: 'Tell the Israelites to designate the cities of refuge, as I instructed you through Moses, so that anyone who kills a person accidentally and unintentionally may flee there and find protection from the aveneger of blood.'" - Joshua 20:1-3

"'Why were you searching for me?' he asked. 'Didn't you know I had to be in my Father's house?'" - Luke 2:49

In times of trouble or need, we can always be assured of a physical sanctuary provided by God to give us protection and peace. What is much more amazing today is, in those times, we do not necessarily have to go into a physical sanctuary because the Holy Spirit is here with us. He provides the sanctuary that we need no matter the good or bad circumstances surrounding us, the varied responsibilities we have through the course of our days, the storm clouds and sunshine of our life.

PRAYER:

"Dearest Heavenly Father, thank you for being present with me no matter what each day brings. Regardless if it is a day of joy or of sadness, of sickness or of health, of success or of failure; no matter what happens to me today, you have given me the assurance that you are walking beside me, strengthening, loving me, and filling me up faith, hope and love. Thank you Abba Father for enveloping us with quiet serenity and security, that brings our foes, fears, afflections and doubts to recede. As you've told Paul, 'I am with you', so too will I know that you are with me in all time. In Jesus' most precious name, Amen."
