Our Refuge!

What uncertain times we are living in. Things are changing day by day, minute by minute.

There are no certainties in this life – well, I should not say that because we do have some. The Bible and what it says is a certainty, the cross and resurrection of Jesus Christ is a certainty, Jesus’ returning is a certainty, promises in the Bible are certainties, believing in Jesus Christ and going to heaven is a certainty, and not believing in Jesus Christ and going to hell is a certainty. These are all certainties. Whether we believe them as truth or not, they are still true.

So with Jesus in our life all the changeable seasons really do not matter to us because our God is not changeable. The promise of Him as my refuge is still the certainty I rely on and not what is going on or what the media has to say. “The eternal God is your refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms; He will thrust out the enemy from before you, and will say, ‘Destroy!’” (Deuteronomy 33:27) A refuge is a place of safety for animals. Likewise, for Christians our refuge in God is a place of safety from all the traps and snares of the enemy.

During this journey we are on now, we see some huge bumps in the road before us. We have to speak who He is and what He promises us and know He is with us. We shall have no fear but faith when we mediate on His wonderful words to us. I will say of the LORD, “He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in Him I will trust.” (Psalm 91:2) Stop and think when fear tries to arise and ask yourself, “Am I running to my God as my refuge and fortress and trusting Him?”  When we worship Him in spirit and truth, our doubts fade away and our faith arises, no matter what we see or hear.

Does it matter which Bible version is used? The New International Version is easier to read than the King James Version, but the Amplified Bible gives better descriptions. Thank you!

Dear Judy, I want to first say, Judy, I love the Lord! But I’m having trouble keeping out thoughts of despair as I watch the news every day. The shooting of innocent people coming out of nowhere. How to cope?

This is the first month in a New Year and I am sure we all made some declaration for this New Year which wholes new beginnings if we will allow them to be.
