“The name of the Lord is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe” (Proverbs 18:10).
As I write this in September, 2023, yesterday was Lord’s day. A brother with a large van was picking up children for Sunday school, and was stopped by the police. They had seen a number of children getting into his van, and they wanted to make sure that they were all safe, and were not being kidnapped by the brother in Christ. After speaking to him for a few minutes, they were satisfied and let them go on to Sunday school.
In today’s world, there are many evil people around who want to harm children. It is a wonderful thing to be safe, and it is good to avoid situations where we might not be safe. But the Lord is the only one who can keep us completely safe. If we trust in the Lord, and ask Him to look after us, we can be sure that He will hear us, and protect us from those who may want to harm us.
