Safety is of the LORD

I had the privilege yesterday of hearing a sermon from an Iraqi Christian minister.

In response to a question about security in Iraq, the Christian opined (this is not a verbatim quote, just the best that I can recall), “you may think you are safe in the United States, but you may not be. I’ll be safe in Iraq because that’s where God wants me. When you are where God wants you, that’s where you are safe.”

What a timely reminder. “ …safety is of the LORD (Proverbs 21:31).”
