Those who trust in the LORD are like Mount Zion, which cannot be shaken but endures forever. As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the LORD surrounds His people both now and forevermore.”+++ Psalm 125:1–2 As human beings, we begin our life’s journey in the safety of our mother’s womb. There, we are provided for and protected from the outside world. It is in this safe environment that a vulnerable, tiny fetus can grow into a baby able to live on its own. Once we are born, we leave the haven of our mother’s womb, but we can enter into a new one. We can reside, if we so choose, within the shelter of our loving God. Like the pillars of clouds surrounding the children of Israel in the desert, God’s protection and love is available to us at all times. We can see the challenges that surround us, or the grace that envelopes us. Yes, there is evil and difficulty in our world, but there is also God’s protection. God is our refuge, a haven, a womb. When we have faith in God’s protection, then everything else surrounding us becomes irrelevant. As the saying goes, “Don’t tell God how big your storm is; tell your storm how big your God is.” Because when we focus on the grace that surrounds us, that is all we will experience and all that we will see.
