How Precious Is Your Kindness

There are places in the world where the heat of the sun is so intense that you run for shade — not out of whim, but out of necessity. The shade becomes a real refuge.

David uses this image to speak of God's kindness. Precious — something of rare value, not found everywhere. And it is beneath this kindness that the children of men take refuge. They run to it. Like a shelter.

Have you been seeking refuge in the right places? Sometimes in hard moments we run to work, to our phones, to food, to anything that distracts us. These are shadows that cannot hold us up — soon the sun beats down again.

But God's kindness is a shade that truly covers. That protects, that refreshes, that sustains. Not just on Sunday morning — at any hour of the day, in any situation of life.

Today you can take refuge in His kindness. Bring what weighs on you and stay a moment in that shade.
