Morning time with my cat, Max. He lets me rub his belly. He slings his leg over my arm and settles in. In peace he sleeps. Because He loves me. He knows I am a safe place. He can relax. He wants me near and so I am. He can’t see my hand, but he senses my presence and that’s enough.
May it be the same for you with Jesus. You love Him. He is your safe place. You can relax. You want Him close by, guarding, protecting, watching - and so He is. Although you can’t see it, His hand is upon you. And it is enough…
“I cling to you; your strong right hand holds me securely.”
Psalms 63:8 NLT
“ I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.”
Psalms 23:4 NIV
“Those who live in the shelter of the Most High will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty.”
Psalms 91:1 NLT
“In peace I will lie down and sleep, for you alone, O Lord, will keep me safe.”
Psalms 4:8 NLT
Whether you are lingering in bed dozing in and out before you start your day, or enjoying an afternoon nap, or settling in after a full day - the Lord is near. His hand is upon you (whether you feel it or not) calling you to a safe and secure peace found only in Him.
