Secure in His Treasure Pouch

No, it's not Friday (sorry!). I just felt like sharing something with you all today :)

Yesterday in my Bible reading, I came across this verse. This is spoken by Abigail, the wife of Nabal, a wealthy man whom David inquired of, asking for provisions. Nabal refused, and David sought to take Nabal's life. Abigail ran out to meet David & his men with provisions, to appeal to him.

Are you ready to take this in?

"Your life is safe in the care of the Lord your God, secure in his treasure pouch!" 1 Samuel 25:29 (NLT)

This was spoken to David, but I believe it's true for all of us. We are secure in Christ, treasured by God, as I wrote last week, His favorite.

Something big happened today in the life of my family. It feels big to me. Thus, God's faithfulness is almost tangible, His presence felt and sensed.

God treasures you. In fact, He has declared that the lions may grow weak & hungry, but those who seek the Lord lack no good thing.

Is there something you desire in your life, but are afraid to ask for?

Take the risk. Ask. Taste & see that the Lord is, indeed, so good.
