Roll with God, and you're safe + saved

Be my rock of refuge, a fortress of defense to save me. (Psalm 31:2)

Protection comes in many forms. A rabbit dives for his hole. A deer runs for the dense cover of a swamp. A 2-year-old runs for his dad's pant leg. A marine digs in under cover of supportive artillery. But what does a Christian do? Where does he hide when surrounded by danger?

When [David] wrote Psalm 31, things were not going well for him. . . . His enemies were chasing him, and his friends had let him down. He was in a vulnerable position--but he was not defenseless. He knew that God is the best possible source of security. . . . Safety is not found in the absence of danger but in the presence of God.
