Safe House…

“God ROARS from Zion, SHOUTS from Jerusalem.Earth and sky quake in terror.
But God is a SAFE HIDING PLACE, a granite SAFE HOUSE for the children of Israel.”
Joel 3:16

Do you remember the noise when the teacher would leave a classroom unsupervised? There was yelling, there was shouting, there was banging & screams. As soon as the teacher returned there was a hushed & quite atmosphere again as order was restored. What had been mayhem was soon bought back to calm.

Todays verse reminds us that an unruly classroom is a quiet place compared to the sound God can produce. God SHOUTS and ROARS with so much volume that the earth & sky quake in terror! There is so much sound coming from God that even the enemies voice is inaudible in comparison. This means that when we’re in God’s presence we can experience silence from the clamor & noise that the devil produces. In God’s presence we no longer hear everything the enemy is saying.

Even though God creates such great volume, He is our SAFE HIDING PLACE. Our verse says He’s a SAFE HOUSE for His children. He’s our place of safety & peace through each and every situation we face. God’s House is His church & it’s reserved for His children. There is a seat in God’s SAFE HOUSE for every believer; there’s a place there especially for you.

This week let’s get into the safest place that exists. Let’s get into God’s presence & into God’s House. As we run to Him, entering into His safety, the enemy’s noise is heard no more. What was mayhem in our lives will soon be calmed. What was lost will soon be restored. Our joy is to dwell in God’s SAFE HOUSE with you!

Now hear this…

Joel 3:16 “God ROARS from Zion, SHOUTS from Jerusalem. Earth and sky quake in terror. But God is a SAFE hiding place, a granite SAFE house for the children of Israel.” [MSG]

God SHOUTS and ROARS with so much volume that the earth and sky quake in terror at His voice! With that much sound coming from God the enemies voice cannot be heard; the enemy’s noise is silent in comparison. This means that in God’s presence we can experience silence from the clamor of noise that the devil produces and from everything he is saying.

Even though God creates such a great volume of SHOUTS, He is a SAFE hiding place. This verse calls Him a granite SAFE house for us, His children. He is a place of safety and peace in each and every situation we face. Remember though, that God’s hiding place was reserved for the children of Israel, this is now the people of His church. This means it is reserved for you and I. There is a seat in the safety of God just for you – a seat with your name on it. This is cause for a great celebration.

As we run to God for protection, the enemies voice will no longer be heard. We can reside in the safest place that exists. This is where we can be placed today. Collect your reserved seat by asking God in prayer. Then as you run to him and enter into His safety the enemy is heard no more… Let’s dwell in Gods’ safe place together!!!
