Psalms Chapter 9
9 The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble.
10 And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, LORD, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.
Troubles come and troubles go. That is the way of life. So when troubles come your way, who are you going to turn to for help? In our society we see people searching for somewhere to turn. Some turn to drugs, alcohol, pornography or gambling. Many people just run here and there with no purpose--simply in a state of panic. This is not what God's people should do.
David tells us that God is our refuge. A refuge is a secure place. When we are in trouble or frighted or disheartened, God is our safe place. If we seek Him, He will not leave us. We have no reason to fear when God is on our side. It is not always easy to trust but there is One we can always count on. We know He has never forsaken us and He never will. All we have to do is seek Him. Submit to Him. Trust Him.
Jesus will always be our stronghold. He will be the place where we can camp out and know we can be protected. We can trust Him and His Word in every situation.
As we go though the day, let us remember that we can always turn to God when we need protection.
