As I looked on the internet at the speech Sarah Huckabee Sanders made at the RNC convention, I was struck with a truth I want to share here. This is not political so regardless of your views read on and be blessed!
She spoke of a day when she was the White House Press Secretary under President Trump. The White house had a bring your kids to work day!
She took her four-year-old son with her. Sometime in the day all the children brought to work at the White House with their parents, were gathered in the Rose Garden to meet the President!
As President Trump and Sarah came outside her four-year-old broke away from the other children and ran as hard as he could straight toward the President. The President got down to his level.
Her son though, sidestepped the president and ran straight into her arms!
The most powerful man in the world had nothing on his mom!
May I tell you when I heard that story, my heart immediately went to the truth that the most powerful or important people in our lives or the world, have nothing to compare to our Heavenly Father.
We must bypass all others and all else and run straight into His Arms!
Oh, we cannot physically run into God’s arms, but we can open our hearts to Him and the Peace and security He gives deep inside us feels like a great big hug!
Isaiah 26:3 (KJV)
Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace,
Whose mind is stayed on thee:
Because he trusteth in thee.
To Sarah’s son it did not matter that his mom was standing right with the President, he knew she would welcome him with open arms.
May I tell you that it does not matter who we are or where we are our Heavenly Father God will welcome us with open arms!
We hear so much about peace in this world. We all want the wars to cease, the hate to stop and people to live peacefully with each other. We want the security to know we are safe in our homes and on our streets!
But no real peace or safety can be found outside of God the Father and Jesus our Lord!
Sarah’s son knew his mom’s arms were a place of safety. Where is our safe place?
Who do we run to!
Psalm 4:8 (KJV)
I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep:
For thou, Lord, only makest me dwell in safety.
Our Father arms are open wide, when we receive the sacrifice of Jesus and give Him our lives, we can walk in peace and safety because we are in the care of the creator God!
Jesus promised:
Matthew 11:28 (KJV)
Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
John 14:27 (KJV )
Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
May we find our safe place in Him!

Father, thank you that in a world seemingly gone crazy, we can have peace and safety in you! You are able to give us peace and safety as we run into your arms and receive the love you have for us! You are our strength, our place of safety and our loving Father who knows us better than we know ourselves! Thank you for loving us! I pray this in Jesus’ name! Amen!
Love, MeMaw
