Our True Refuge Is God

Bible in a Year :

He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.

Psalm 91:2

After his wife died, Fred felt he could endure the pain as long as he had his Monday breakfasts with his buddies. His fellow retirees lifted his spirits. Whenever sadness came, Fred would think about the next time he’d enjoy their company again. Their corner table was his safe place from grief.

Over time, however, the gatherings ended. Some friends became ill; others passed away. The emptiness led Fred to seek solace in the God he’d met in his youth. “I have breakfast by myself now,” he says, “but I remember to hold on to the truth that Jesus is with me. And when I leave the diner, I don’t leave to face the rest of my days alone.”

Like the psalmist, Fred discovered the safety and comfort of God’s presence: “He is my refuge . . . in whom I trust” (Psalm 91:2). Fred came to know safety not as a physical place to hide, but as the steadfast presence of God that we can trust and rest in (v. 1). Both Fred and the psalmist found that they didn’t have to face difficult days alone. We too can be assured of God’s protection and help. When we turn to Him in trust, He promises to respond and be with us (vv. 14-16).

Do we have a safe place, a “corner table” we go to when life is hard? It won’t last but God will. He waits for us to go to Him, our true refuge.

Reflect & Pray

When life is hard, what’s your safe place? How can you turn to and trust God as your refuge?

Dear God, You’re my safe place. Yours is the presence that will never leave me to fend for myself. Your help and protection surround me always.

For further study, read Jesus Is in the Room.

7/10, which is pretty good considering I haven’t seen a bunch of those movies.

A very pleasant good Wednesday morning and ((HUGS)) to everyone at the Canteen and to all our military at home and abroad. Thanks for your service to our country and thanks Luvie for this morning's thread.

Yesterday at Chisolm Trail Park:

🤣This was kind of a tough one, I don't watch too many movies nowadays. I did get 4 out of 10 right though.

How's everyone doing this morning?

7 / 10.

I missed the Kramer vs Kramer, and the Terms of Endearment and then the last one about Catch Me If You Can (I thought it was Casino).
