Psalm 122:1-3: I was glad when they said to me, "Let us go to the house of the Lord." And now here we are, standing inside your gates, O Jerusalem.  Jerusalem is a well-built city; its seamless walls cannot be breached.

How often are we truly enjoying the refuge of God? Like getting caught in a rainstorm, our first instinct is to head for shelter.  To get to SOMETHING that is away from the destruction of water.  It's funny to watch dozens of people try and cram themselves under one canopy in the city.  Their quickly fleeting hope that the are promised some of this shelter from the world falling down around them.  Well, I can say you are indeed promised shelter from your world falling down around you.

Ultimate what is best is our undying devotion and desire to run to God for shelter.   There is never "not enough room" and we are all comfortable at once under his shelter.

Psalm 121:5-8: The Lord himself watches over you! The Lord stands beside you as your protective shade.  The sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon at night.  The lord keeps you from all harm and watches over your life.  The Lord keeps watch over you as you come and go, both now and forever.
