A Safe House
God’s a safe-house for the battered,
a sanctuary during bad times.
The moment you arrive, you relax;
you’re never sorry you knocked.Psalms 9:9-10, MSG

thank you!
Aren’t those clouds just wonderful? 🙂
Beautiful and peaceful. xoxo
Let’s run away to there, right?
Oh, Lyli, the words you find in the message are so awesome.
Love this line about being in God’s house: “the moment you arrive you relax.”
Hallelujah!
I really do love the word pictures in Peterson’s translation. He grabs my attention every time I read.
What a neat translation of this verse. Thanks for sharing. It is one I read and reread this evening.
I actually read this psalm in the NASB in the morning as part of my regular quiet time, and then I revisited it in The Message at night. Loved the pairing of the two!
Love this photograph with this verse. The clouds marching forth in the background would cause most to seek sanctuary.
Yes! A reminder that He is our sanctuary — if I will but be still and sit at His feet.
Comforting and inviting. Thanks for sharing Lyli.
Pat, so lovely to connect with you this weekend. I so enjoyed visiting your blog.
gorgeous welcome home … His Words, your image.
weekend joys …
Thanks, Linda! He does know how to lay out the welcome mat, doesn’t He? 🙂
I LIKE this!!! Both the Word and the photo. Grabbed my attention and my heart. Thank you.
So glad you were encouraged, Joanne!
