Most families plan for emergencies, including insuring that everyone knows the location of the safe place.
Some live in regions that are vulnerable to instate fires and floods. Families usually discuss and even practice what they are to do in case of a sudden house fire or flood that separates family members.
In our house, we practiced crossing the street and standing under the tree in our neighbor's yard in case of fire. If separated, we knew to find each other under the tree. We also knew, especially if there was a fire, that if one of us was not under the tree that it was possible that one family member may be still in the building.
It's good to have safe places to go in case of storms and hurricanes.
The storms of life usually happen suddenly and with little warning. When we have done everything that we know how to do we turn to God for shelter. He is our safe place.
That's the thought of Psalm 91: 2 says, “I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.”
When life suddenly explodes all around us, it’s good to know that we can turn to Lord who will be our fortress.
He will protect us.
He is our safe place.
