Welcome back to 66 ways God loves you. In Numbers, God shelters me in cities of refuge. When God divvied up the promise land, he gave the Levites 48 towns. ^ of those towns were to be places refuge-where anyone could flee for safety. Even though these were Hebrew cities, their gates were open to anyone who needed their safety.
Cities of refuge are a picture of God's loving shelter for ALL of us. We can hide safely in God's love and forgiveness. We all need a safe place where we know we are protected and welcomed. When we run to God, He welcomes us in and He defends our honor. He protects us and preserves us.
Jesus says, "The one who comes to me I will by no means cast out" (John 6:37). "God is our refuge and strength, a helper who is always found in times of trouble. Therefore we will not be afraid (Psalms 46:1-2).
Until next time,

66 Ways GOD Loves you
Welcome back to CVFC Book Club! This month's book is by Jennifer Rothschild, 66 Ways GOD Loves You, Experience God"s Love for You in Every Book of the Bible. It's a long title, but I think it's important to know, all through Biblical history, God LOVED us! Jennifer nicely breaks down GOD'S love for us in just a couple short pages per book of the Bible.
She writes, "In Genesis God Fashions Me with His Hands" In the beginning, God created with words. The Heavens, the Earth, the trees and the animals, He spoke into existence. But with man, He formed from the dust of the ground, he shaped man into his own image and then He breathed life into man! He chose that we, His beloved, would have His fingerprints on us! His loving hands reached down from heaven to touch ME and make ME His own! And he saw all that he made and said it was very good.
In Exodus God Delivers Me from Slavery, though the Israelites were slaves in Egypt, they were still God's chosen people and He heard their cries and God's love set about rescuing His people. Just as God delivered His people from slavery of Egypt, He delivers you from whatever you are powerless to rescue yourself from. (with me it was alcohol, praise God!)
God's love rescues you! Ask Him to set you free!
Until next time
