Demonic oppression, threats of danger, personal betrayals, and the presence of evil engulf and overwhelm from time to time. Escape to the wilderness from the terrors of the city tempts the oppressed sufferer, but the wilderness is no place to be safe either. Running away from the threats, betrayals, temptations, dangers, and terrors of spiritual enemies is not a feasible solution for troubles, until we reach the Heavenly City.
Sin, death and the devil are ever present, but so is the Safe Place in God. So stay where you are, call upon the Lord and He will save you where you are; He will deliver your life in peace from the battle and prepare a table of well being in the presence of the enemies’ terrors. No matter how frightening city or country life appears He is there for His own.
“Cast your burden on the Lord and he will sustain you.” Come to Me when overwhelmed and scared, for I am here and I care. Give me your fears; I can handle them. I will cast the enemies into the pit, and you can trust in me. So says Jesus, who is the Answer.
