Run for cover 2 Samuel 22:31

Posted on by Just broken

2 Samuel 22:31 (NLT)
31 “God’s way is perfect.
All the Lord’s promises prove true.
He is a shield for all who look to him for protection.

2 Samuel 22:31 (NIV)
31 “As for God, his way is perfect:
The Lord’s word is flawless;
he shields all who take refuge in him.

2 Samuel 22:31 (MSG)
31 Every God-direction is road-tested.
Everyone who runs toward him
Makes it.

Running for cover usually takes place when something nasty is happening, right? Lightning, bullets, Richard Simmons, etc. But what do we do with all of the usual “stuff” that our days consist of? We’re not living in perfect harmony – actually, there’s a ton of dis-harmony in our daily lives. How do we get protected to live through that?

Run for cover. This cover though lets you stand tall out in the open. Run for cover in His words. I find it amazing how, in the middle of raucous discord, strife, and basic insanity, God’s words bring peace, clarity, and safety.

Run for cover behind a shield of sanity. Run for cover behind God’s wisdom. Run for cover behind the strength of The Way, out in the open, standing tall, fearlessly, knowing he shields all who look to him for protection.

I Love The Father, Son and Holy Spirit and the blessings He has poured into my life. I pray that I live a life that glorifies Him in all I do, but I fail every day, many, many, many times. I have come here through brokenness, a trail of pain and broken promises that I've created through my self centeredness, self will and arrogance. For those I've hurt, please forgive me for what I did. Those things that I remember I am truly sorry I did them. I wish I could undo them. I can't. I use these lessons as motivation to be a builder, to take those experiences and hopefully keep someone else out of their own similar experiences. I love my wife, my children, my family, my friends, my strangers, and those the world would like to dismiss as an unfortunate error messing up worldly perfection. I get frustrated with all of the above too, for I am broken, not like God. Lord, give me your wisdom, your patience, and knowledge of your will for me and the strength to carry that out in all I do. I believe we have work to do while we are here and need to be actively engaged in allowing God to work through us. A Christian is someone who does what The Father, Son and Holy Spirit calls them to do, a builder not a taker, a conduit not a pinnacle, humble and serving. Micah 6:8 Matthew 25:31-46
