PEACE AMID CHAOS

“I don’t want to just know what the peace of Christ is; I want to live in the confidence and security that God has promised me. I want to be both desperate for Him and deeply anchored in His certain peace as the world around me spins in chaos.”

The referenced quote is one of my favorites from Safe All Along by Katie Davis Majors. It is how I want to believe and live, and I am thankful that Majors put this into words. Reading one of Majors’ books is like sitting and talking to an old and trusted friend. She makes me feel like she has just dropped by my home for a visit, and it may take us a short while to catch up as she shares with me all that has gone on in her world since our last visit. As I read, I compare notes to draw parallels with my life and think of questions I wish I could ask. Then, I laugh because Majors usually manages to answer all of these questions by the end of her book!

In this book, Majors tackles what it means to be safe with God.
What does it mean to trust God with your whole heart? Majors reminds us of those precious verses many of us learned as children: Proverbs 3:5-6 She reminded me that when I fix my eyes on God, He makes my path straight. He does not necessarily give me the road map. But when I keep my eyes Fixed On Him, I have noticed I tend to take fewer side trips, fall in fewer potholes, and rarely get lost!

I have read the other books Katie Davis Majors has written, and each of them has caused me to examine my own life and relationship with God, be challenged, grow, and be greatly encouraged. Safe All Along is another beautifully written work that brings readers peace amid chaos.

I was provided a complimentary copy of this book by Multnomah & NetGalley. The opinions expressed here are entirely my own and without influence. ( )
