Yummm ... those look good; guess it is time I defrost a tub of cookie dough. I have at least 3 tubs that have been in the freezer forever.

The stuff I buy to help the school!!!! Why oh why, did I buy so much?

[trisham]

You could pass out cookies if carolers come to your door!

Taking Refuge
December 21, 2013

Read: Proverbs 18:1-10

The name of the Lord is a strong tower; the righteous run to it and are safe. —Proverbs 18:10

Bible in a Year:
Micah 1-3; Revelation 11

In the medieval world, farmers would care for their crops until an enemy appeared on the horizon. Then they would flee with their families to their fortified city for protection from the marauders.

The city of Carcassonne has been a refuge for generations. Built in the 5th century bc, this stone fortress has provided protection for Romans, Gauls, Visigoths, Franks, and French. Its sprawling size and majestic watchtowers and battlements gave confidence to those hiding inside its protective walls.

As believers, we can take refuge in the presence of the living God. The book of Proverbs tells us: “The name of the Lord is a strong tower; the righteous run to it and are safe” (Prov. 18:10). “The name of the Lord” refers to God’s character—abounding with faithfulness, power, and mercy. The term safe means “set on high out of danger.”

We all face threats at times that make us want to run for cover. Some seek security in material wealth or relationships. But the Christ-follower has a more secure refuge. Because of who God is and what He can do for us, our best protection ultimately rests in Him. If you are facing a threat today, go to the Lord, who is a strong tower. You will find refuge in His care.

In the times of greatest struggle,
When the angry billows roll,
I can always find my Savior,
Christ, the Refuge of my soul. —Woodruff

In good times and bad, God is our safe resting place.

Thank you! We are having a good needed rain. It’s not freezing, thank heavens.

[trisham]

I love the Christmas season! We didn’t have any carolers here, but it’s nice to imagine that they were out there somewhere, spreading good cheer. :)

[trisham]

Thank goodness! There’s no precipitation more dangerous than freezing rain.
