GOD — YOUR PLACE OF REFUGE

“God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea” 

Psalm 46:1-2 (KJV)

BLESSED NEW MONTH!

This month of July is the beginning of the second half of the year 2024.

Glory to God!

You may be reading this and today is the beginning of your time at a new workspace, and you have a sense of fear.
Today may also mark the beginning of restructuring your plans for the year.
You are reading this now and are also faced with a new challenge and unexpected news that has troubled you.

Your world may seem to be collapsing and you don’t know what to do.

Are you currently overwhelmed by your challenges and you feel suicide is your only escape from the vicissitude circumstance?

It’s too early to give up.

There is a greater option for you beloved of God in Christ.

Men might have failed you.
You may feel rejected by your family at this moment.
It looks like whichever direction you turn to, doesn’t favor you.

You have stopped praying, you have stopped reading the word, and you are currently planning to stay away from Church.

That is not the way.

GOD IS YOUR REFUGE!

Learn to trust in Him as your refuge and strength.

Can you imagine the confidence of a man living in a fortified castle on a hill during heavy rainfall?

He will not be troubled nor moved by the outcome of the rain.

You will find this man enjoying and thanking the Lord for the blessings of rain.

Unlike the homeless or the man who lives in a kiosk.

Both don’t deny the presence of the rain. However, they will both have different reactions towards the rain.

The consciousness of your location defines your attitude towards the storm.

In your time of trouble, don’t run away from God. In your time of trouble, run to God.

Most people see God as the source of their trouble and pain. Some think God leads them into trouble to test their faith.

No!

That is not God. He is not the source of evil, trouble, pain, and chaos.

Only good and perfect gift comes from God (James 1:17).

God is not your prison of pain. God is your refuge and strength.

He is not one who helps you today and will fail to help you tomorrow. God is your very present help in times of trouble. He is always present to help you in the now.

The storms may come, the waters may roar, the mountains may be carried into the sea, don’t be afraid nor shaken.

Remain resolute in the Lord.

Remain confident in who God is and His ability.

Look away from the trouble and look to God, who is your refuge and strength.

Hallelujah!
