Our Refuge
Deuteronomy 19 describes cities of refuge, places where those who had killed someone could flee for protection. Such cities were set up for those who had killed someone accidentally or in self-defense, without malice or forethought.
Hmmm. Not a bad idea for moms.
Do moms need a refuge, not from murder, of course, but from frustration? Certainly! From lack of patience? Without a doubt! From lack of self-control? Yes!
How desperately we as moms need a refuge, a place of retreat and safety when we have failed. When we have lost our last shred of control and shouted at our treasured child. When we selfishly refused to help our husband because we wanted him to handle it.
God is that safe place in such moments. He has set himself apart for us so that he is available to meet our needs whenever, whatever they are.
What is it you need today? Forgiveness? Hope? Strength to begin again? Why not go to your refuge? Go to God.
