Homes on FireSample

A Place of Safety

Fear is the first dysfunctional emotion that governs man in Eden. After choosing his own way, Adam hid from God because he was afraid. This first man had walked in safety and protection until that choice, but he lost that security by cutting off his spiritual union because of sin.

As a person or a family regains their spiritual connection, one thing that will happen is that the perfect love they receive and give to the Father will displace any fear. The Psalms, the best book in reference to human emotions, is full of declarations of trust, of finding safety, refuge, and protection in God.

When the safekeeping of the Father is revealed to us, we enter into an environment of trust and faith that pleases the Lord.
