While Jesus pursued his ministry, he would occasionally need to retreat to the home of a friend for some rest and relaxation. They would give him food, provide a place to lay his head, and uplift his spirits when he needed a boost. Understanding our human needs was one of the goals of Jesus coming to earth as a child, and the need for shelter and protection from the world, both physical and mental, was part of the deal.
Today, as we watch yet another winter storm approach, I am so grateful to have a beautiful little house of my own to call home. Many people in this world have little or nothing to protect them from the elements, and I could easily be them. Jesus knows my every need, and God has provided for me in an amazing way.
When the world rages outside my door, I am safe and warm and protected within the walls of my sturdy house. Thank you, Lord.
