{"product_id":"sanctuary-devotional","title":"Sanctuary","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhen I think of sanctuary  I think immediately of two different things: I think of safety  a place I can go to escape. And I think of the heavenly sanctuary that was modeled in the wilderness by the children of Israel according to God’s directions. Of course  these two ideas are related.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSanctuary: a place to run when life gets to be too much. A place I can relax and be myself. A place for my loved ones to surround me. I am so grateful for my home  my sanctuary  and I want it to be modeled according to God’s plan. In fact  we are told that our homes can be a little taste of heaven; what a sanctuary!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Bible book of Hebrews tells us that there is a sanctuary in heaven. And when God told the Israelites to build an earthly sanctuary so that He could dwell among them  it was patterned on the heavenly sanctuary. In it the plan of salvation was played out every day.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI wish we could see that sanctuary today  because it must have been beautiful. God endowed many individuals with special talents to be able to make every aspect of this structure the most skillful and beautiful possible. And over it all  God’s presence was visible in the cloud.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the pages of this book women have bared their souls. They have revealed how they try every day to follow the pattern that God has given for their lives. They share how God has shown His presence in their homes  their families  and their lives. Things have not always gone perfectly for these women  but each has found sanctuary in the arms and love of her mighty God  the God who is also her Savior.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMay you  the reader  have a sense of sanctuary each day as you spend time with your God and Savior. May you find peace and quiet for your soul. And may you go out from that sanctuary to bless those around you.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBesides sanctuary for you  these books also provide a blessing for others  as all profits from this series of books goes to scholarships for women around the world who are seeking higher education.
