I am sitting in a park typing on my iPhone and my thumbs are wrecking my five minutes!!
Siri is interfering with the no edit experience, I will be honest.
I was late to the party Thursday and have been meditating on the word prompt for a couple days.
The verse comfort, comfort, my people came to mind but I didn't remember the rest.
My struggle with sugar for comfort when stressed also made an appearance but here in the warm summer breeze, the thought of "Come to my Fort" is where we are going.
You see, Jesus is always inviting us. And his fort is so much stronger and better than mine! Instead of seeing myself in my human standards of relationships and give and take, I need to re-evaluate his lens.
Little kids play in front of you and occasionally check in and then go back into their world. I like to think this is how He views us. Not as a needy God, upset we aren't focused on Him alone, but a much wiser, calmer grownup who isn't bothered by the little things that ruin our entire world. (The sippy cup is the wrong color, anyone?)
So if I take shelter in His fort, I will be saved.
"The name of the Lord is a strong tower. The righteous run into it and they are saved."
Will you take comfort in God's fort???
We can hang out together!
:)
Yes let's hang out together in God's fort. I love where your brain went with this prompt. I'm in the 54 spot this week.
ReplyDeleteThank you Tara! It's going to be so fun to have my friends in the fort!

I had never thought of the word comfort like that but I like it! Yes I definitely want to find comfort in God's fort! I'm at 53.
ReplyDeleteLesley,
DeleteThis was a first thought for me as well. I had never broken it apart before either.
Delighted to have you join me in the fort!
Love,
Tammy
Yep, pleased to hang out with you at God's place!
ReplyDeleteBut who's Siri?
Andrew,
DeleteFirst, I thank you for taking so much time to reply to my "why" on your post.
I am glad when a I see you in His fort that you will be running and dodging the snowballs and as giddy as a young child can be!
Ha ha and Siri is the autocorrect in my cell phone that changes my typing sometimes. It also has voice prompting so you can do dictation and it types out what it thinks you said.
So grateful for your visit!!
Love,
Tammy
Come to my Fort. You are creative my friend. I like how you brought out comfort from that. Yes, I will take comfort in His fort!
