Shelter

“I long to dwell in Your tent forever and take refuge in the shelter of your wings.” Psalm 61:4
We don’t know what circumstances David was in when he penned these words in Psalm 61, but it could have described many situations in his life, when he was on the run from Saul and later from his own son Absalom. David knew all too well what it was like to be on the move, for his life to be in danger constantly, to not have a permanent place of refuge. But David came to realise that no matter what happened to him physically, he would always have God as a spiritual refuge.
Perhaps this describes how you feel today. Are you being hounded by someone or something? Do you feel as if they’re out to get you, through no fault of your own? Are you looking for a place to call home, where you can be safe and secure? Those things may not exist for you in this world, but you can be sure that God will always be there to protect you and give you shelter.
