The other night some friends and I got to talking about the safest place to be. One told about a lady who lived and ministered in one of most crime ridden ghettos. When people expressed concern for her safety she told them that the safest place you can ever be is in the center of God's will. I have read Anita Dittman's book, "Trapped In Hitler's Hell." A young Christian lady who was part German and part Jewish, she was sent to a German work camp. Her believing Mom who was all Jewish was sent to a concentration camp. She tells many of the miracles that she experienced while in the work camp. I have also heard her speak. Anita's story is a truly faith building one. She ended it by saying, "Safety isn't found in the absence of danger, but in the presence of God."
THE SAFEST PLACE
When the storm threatens,
Or the tempest pounds,
Hidden under our Savior's wings,
Their protective shadow,
Secure in his embrace,
Resting not wrestling,
Is the safest place to be,
Having surrendered our will,
Seeking to know His,
Then walking in obedience,
One step at a time,
Learning to hear his voice,
Discern it from the enemies,
Honest about our fears,
Letting our Father heal us,
Set us free,
Give us his strength,
Show us his faithfulness,
Which builds trust,
Is the safest place to be.
Safety isn't found in the
absence of danger, but in the
presence of God. Anita Dittman
