Do not hide from the lost world today because Maybe Today, we will
The passage I would like to use today for encouragement is from
In You, O Lord, I have taken refuge;
Refuge means, "a condition of being safe or sheltered from pursuit, danger, or trouble.
gas is skyrocketing, inflation is crippling, BUT have YOU truly taken REFUGE in the Lord? I am safe and sheltered when I take refuge in Him. I do not worry or fear. I may be the dumbest person on earth for being ill-prepared or maybe the smartest for my whole reliance on my God, my REFUGE. Why would God say this if He didn't mean it? Do not let these powerful words fall upon deaf ears. These words are FACT! Instead of worrying, fearing, and dreading the headline news, take REFUGE in a God who won't let you slip!
Let me never be ashamed.
In Your righteousness deliver me and rescue me;
Incline Your ear to me and save me.
First, what do you want to inhabit when a storm rages or trouble comes?
A habitation that is brittle and will break?
Or, a habitation that is strong and reliable? I would want something that nothing can break or penetrate. God is our rock, our shelter, and most of all our fortress. When the walls are caving all around you, God will stand firm. He is unbreakable.
God doesn't break His promises.
Remember that old saying, "If God said it, that settles it." Well, it's true!
God is not some flippant person who loves to see people suffer.
God is a God who loves everyone yet not everyone loves God. God sent His only Son to die for those who He knew would not love Him in return. God longs for them to be adopted into His family. God longs to be your refuge and shelter. Many mock these words however, they are words spoken by the most POWERFUL person in the universe. GOD is so powerful and nothing will penetrate that. Why wouldn't you want to lean upon that? I know I would and do!
- I am confident that God sits on a throne and will be the final judge one day.
- I am confident that a God so big, who created the universe, can provide for my every need no matter how big or small.
- I am confident that my God is a personal one. So much so that I feel His presence.
- I am confident that when I call upon Him, He will answer me.
- I am confident that no matter what comes my way, God will be with me. He has never left me, He won't start now when things look impossible!
To close today's Maybe Today, I want to say, go to Christ for ALL your needs. He is the ROCK, the FORTRESS, and the ONLY ONE who is stronger than what we see all around us.
Be encouraged church, we are going home soon!! We are closer today than we were yesterday.
