Safe in the Arms of Jesus!
By: Robert A. Searles

Safe in the Arms of Jesus! 

Because I am a child of God; because I have been forgiven, and purchased with the precious blood of Christ from the realm of the evil one, Satan, I can be sure that: "though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me: thou shalt stretch forth thine hand against the wrath of mine enemies, and thy right hand shall save me, the Lord will perfect that which concerneth me: thy mercy, O Lord, endureth for ever; forsake not the works of thine own hands." Psalm 138: 7, 8. 

The Lord will never forsake the works of his own hand, and those whom he has redeemed. No one is beyond the sight and knowledge of God. No one can hide from God. No one can keep a secret from God. He knows everything we do, every thought we think, and every motive of our heart. We may be able to deceive our fellowman, but not so with God. He knows who has genuine faith and confidence in him, and who is a hypocrite. The knowledge of God is wonderful, beyond any human comprehension, but he is willing to impart his knowledge and wisdom to us if we will seek him and ask him for wisdom.

"O Lord, thou hast searched me, and known me. Thou knowest my down sitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off. Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways. For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O Lord, thou knowest it altogether. Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine hand upon me. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it. Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence? If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there. If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea; even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me." Psalm 139: 1-10.
