Quotes about Safe
When did we start believing that God wants to send us to safe places to do easy things? That faithfulness is holding the fort? That playing it safe is safe?

I love the way Dorothy Sayers described the wild side of His personality. To do them justice, the people who crucified Jesus did not do so because he was a bore. Quite the contrary; he was too dynamic to be safe. It has been left for later generations to muffle up that shattering personality and surround Him with an atmosphere of tedium. We have declawed the lion of Judah and made Him a housecat for pale priests and pious old ladies.9

You are a fighter of the Lord's battles. (You are known. You matter to the Lord.) The Lord has a plan for your dynasty to last. (You are important.) Someone is pursuing you to take your life, but God has a plan to keep you safe. (You are valuable.) Remember what God did when you hurled that stone from the pocket of a sling toward Goliath. God was faithful that day and is faithful this day too! (You are secure.)
