Can you relate to someone ‘stuck in a rut’? Feeling like they’re doing all the good things, but not seeing the good that should come from doing good things. Knowing that there is danger just on the other side of all this effort they are using to keep it at bay. What if they are simply held in the arms of God, like a child gathered up to protect it from an animal? With this message, you might be able to encourage them that the confusing bubble keeping them in, is possibly the arms of God keeping something out.
