b'To be in the shadow of God is everything. This world is a scary place;\\nthere are so many rules, expectations, and dangers waiting for us around\\nevery bend. It\\u2019s more than scary\\u2014it\\u2019s paralyzing. Like a deer in oncoming\\nheadlights, instead of escaping to safety, we might freeze and feel the\\nfull impact of the world crashing in. But it doesn\\u2019t have to be this way.\\nIf you have committed your life to Christ, you have escaped from disaster.\\nAnd in doing so, you haven\\u2019t just run to safety. You\\u2019ve gained hope, joy,\\nand glory. When you surrendered your life to Christ, you were added into\\nGod\\u2019s family. Your life was HIDDEN with Christ in God. When your life is\\nhidden with Christ, your place with Him is secure. You will have\\ntrouble\\u2014that is promised\\u2014but you won\\u2019t be alone. You are held by Jesus, the\\nOne who overcame the world (John 16:33). And because Jesus died and rose\\nfrom the grave, His followers have the sure hope of living with Him\\nforever. As Christians, our lives are now united with Christ and should be\\nin alignment with His way. Think about it. When someone belongs to Jesus,\\ntheir life is not their own (1 Corinthians 6:19-20). We follow God\\u2019s ways,\\nnot out of an impersonal sense of duty, but because God loves us and He is\\nthe source of goodness. Obeying Him allows us to experience His goodness\\nmore and more. Yet, even as we learn to follow God with the help of the\\nHoly Spirit, we will not do things perfectly. But Christ covers us, so when\\nGod the Father looks at us, He sees the righteousness of Christ and does\\nnot count our sins against us (2 Corinthians 5:21). When your life is\\nhidden and covered by God, you can dwell with Him and rest in His shadow.\\nHe promises to be with you in hardship. Imagine it. If you\\u2019re in someone\\u2019s\\nshadow, it means they are bigger than you, covering you, and they are close\\nbeside you. When you realize you are in God\\u2019s shadow, the world no longer\\nseems as paralyzing. When you are a Christian, God is close beside you and\\ncovering you all the way. \\u2981 Emma Pamer \\u2981 What things do you see in the\\nworld that make you feel paralyzed with fear? \\u2981 Can you think of a time you\\nfelt free, safe, and/or comforted in God\\u2019s presence? If you haven\\u2019t\\nexperienced this, you can ask God for it. He loves to answer these prayers!\\nThose who live in the shelter of the Most High will find rest in the shadow\\nof the Almighty.
