Youth Ministry Round Up #232


Greetings Awesome Person,

The world is unsafe. It always has been.

Before there laws, people did what they wanted.

Before there were medicines, there were plagues.

We've been on the edge of blowing everything up since Hiroshima.

I am part of generation that did nuclear bomb drills in school, and you know what they had us do? Get under the table. A lot of good that would have done.

To me, the ocean is unsafe. I was once caught in a rip tide and almost taken out to sea. I have faced death on other occasions but that's for another time.

Where do you feel safest? Where do you feel unsafe?

Youth Ministry can feel unsafe.

Saying the wrong thing. Fear of getting fired. Lock-ins (kind of). All unsafe.

There is only one place you can turn to safety,

In peace I will lie down and sleep,
for you alone, Lord, make me dwell in safety.

Pslam 4:8

If you are feeling unsafe, run to Jesus, He will hide you in the shadow of his wings.

Pray for peace in our world,

Paul

P.S. For greater assurance, read Psalm 91
