On the plane from Houston to Mexico, my seatmate asked me “Aren’t you afraid to go to Saltillo because of the shootings that have been happening every day?” I told her that I hadn’t been aware of the violence she was talking about, but that it didn’t make any difference. I am completely secure because of knowing God and being 100% sure that He wants me in Mexico.
It doesn’t matter whether I’m in my own home or in downtown Saltillo; if I’m being and doing what He wants, I can rest in the fact that I won’t die (or get injured, either) unless He wants me to – and if He chooses that for me, I’ll be okay in it because He knows a whole lot better than I do and because He provides (for His children) what it takes to pass – ultimately unscathed – through whatever situation He gives. He works everything for my good because I am called by Him and I love Him (Romans 8:28). Though I am often scared about a lot of things, I don’t have to be; His love casts out the fear when I go to Him with it (1John 4:18; 5:14-15).
He’s powerful, and He’s good; we can trust Him.
No safer place than in God's will!
