There are so many places and ways we can hide when the going gets tough. But there is only one truly safe place to hide, in the shadow of God’s wings, our refuge. Love, grace, peace and mercy are all there for us. Let’s go there today. (Day 9 – YouTube)
Day 9 – Our refuge
God is ready and willing to be our refuge all day, every day.
Scriptures
O God, how extravagant is your cherishing love! All mankind can find a hiding place under the shadow of your wings.
Note; there is a footnote for ‘hiding place’ – They will be satisfied [or watered] in the abundance of your house. Psalm 36:7 TPT
Be merciful to me, O God, be merciful to me! For my soul trusts in You; And in the shadow of Your wings I will make my refuge, until these calamities have passed by. I will cry to God Most High, To God who performs all things for me. Psalm 57:1-2 NKJV

Extravagant: lacking restraint in spending money or using resources.
I feel like that is such an amazing word to describe God’s love. He’s not holding anything back from showering his love over me, I just need to except it.
Thank you Charlotte, I love how soft your heart is towards God.
Thanks mum
