Behind God’s Leg

A few days ago a woman who I work with got a visit from her 3-year-old grandson.  He is probably the second cutest kid ever. (mine is first, but I may be biased) He loves his grandmother and doesn’t venture too far away from her.

I tried to get him to come to me so I could play with him. (love kids) But he wanted nothing to do with me.  When I called him he immediately ran and hid behind her leg.  Behind her leg he knew that she would protect him no matter what.  Behind her leg is where he found his comfort.  Behind her leg is where he found his strength.  She stood between him and whatever he was going to face.

Proverbs 18:10 says, “The name of the LORD is a fortified tower; the righteous run to it and are safe.”

We live in a world where people are looking for all the things that the little boy found in his grandmother:  protection, comfort, and strength.  It is behind God’s leg we find our protection no matter what the circumstance.  It is behind God’s leg where we can find comfort.  It is behind God’s leg where we can find our strength.  God wants to stand between you and whatever you face.

Are you looking for any of these things mentioned?  If so, run, sprint, or do whatever you can to get behind God’s leg.  You will be safe.
