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!!!
