In my Arms

I've recently found a new favorite song. The Christian Rock artist Plumb has put out a recording of lullabies, including the Sunday School classic "God will take care of you" and our favorite Swedish Lutheran song "Children of the Heavenly Father." But my favorite is "In my Arms." Here are a few words: "Clouds will rage and storms will race in, but you will be safe in my arms. Rains will pour down, waves will crash around, but you will be safe in my arms." It's a mother talking to her child, true. But is it also God talking to us? I believe so.
God knows the clouds in our lives, the rains, the storms and belief in God does not magically protect us from the clouds or storms. But God promises to protect us through them all, keeping us safe in his arms. We are so safe in his arms, no matter what!
