SOLID

PSALM 25:20 (ABP)
Don’t let them shame me!
You are my safe place,
the shelter to which I run when they attack me.


MATTHEW 7:24-25 (MSG)
If you work these words into your life, you are like a smart carpenter who built his house on solid rock. Rain poured down, the river flooded, a tornado hit -- but nothing moved that house. It was fixed to the rock.

SUMMARY SENTENCE
Allow God to be your daily safe place.

PRAYER
God, you are solid! Nothing shakes you or throws you off foundation. And you are there for us when we need to be sheltered. Forgive me for allowing fear to replace your safety. I'm turning all my problems and challenges over to you and your care. You are my safe place today -- and tomorrow -- and the day after -- and... Amen.

THE LORD’S PRAYER
Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your Name, your Kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us. Save us from the time of trial and deliver us from evil. For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours now and forever. Amen.
