Refuge
November 3, 2024
Listening to the Bible project’s “Building a House on the Rock” was my daily bread this morning. I felt peace come over me. The podcast’s imagery and words built a new frame of reference where I’m with Jesus, and he is alive. His resurrection is the new building I can live within. He is above the coming storm, and this home with him will withstand any storm. Whether America falls down soon or not, I want my daily choices to be building and entering the house on the rock. Seek first his kingdom, and all these things will be added unto you. I examine my mind, and there are castles in the sand. I can stop listening to derisive inner remarks and listen to Jesus’ words to remove those castles in the sand.
Peace is in my heart. I’ve suffered incredible emotional pain this week. I could not sleep and could not shut down a fearful cycle that entered my head. It was my personal storm, but reaching for Jesus means I’m safe within His refuge.
