A Safe Place

 Recently when my wife asked the Lord, "What are we supposed to be in this situation?" He replied, "A safe place, where the healing can take place."

I wonder if that is not going to be the answer far more frequently than we know.

In an increasingly hostile world, with principalities and powers that are beginning to see the hand-writing on the wall, safe places are going to be at a premium.

Listening, covering, protecting, providing a "shelter from the storm" where God can speak and be heard, and touch and heal. 

We need to be a people whose love and acceptance is well known.

Hospitality is an important gift.

Wage mercy.

Matt. 25:34 “Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world.

35 For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in,

36 I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’

37 “Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink?

38 When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you?

39 When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’

40 “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’
