Proverbs 14:26
In the fear of the LORD is strong confidence:
And his children shall have a place of refuge.
There is something about coming home. We are doing the right thing and we know it. It may be a bumpy road but we have the protection of the Father. We walk in His Instruction and in spite of the world crumbling around us we know that we have His blessing. Even now with the economico-political framework of the world is in the balance; even with morals thrown out door in favor of the promises of more advantageous economic reforms, we can have peace if we come home.
The world has to go its way, but God’s children need to come home. Only in coming home there is peace. One of my sons came home recently. He came home for peace, security, growth, and as an attempt to secure foundations for his life. As he comes home he also knows that house-rules still apply, but under those, peace ill be found, security, provision and growth.
Coming home with God is coming under the jurisdictions of His home rules expressed in His Instruction book. When we finally say ‘uncle’ to His advice on life for us, we’ve come home; we’ve come to the place of refuge.
I know an Indian fable about a reed that grew by an oak. Though the reed itself was weak, it lived under the protection of the oak. If the wind blew from the West, the oak protected the reed from its futy. But if the wind blew from the East, the tempest pressed the reed against the oat. Come and grow by the mighty oak of His presence. Let the wind blow; it will either protect you or bring you closer to Him.
