The Lord is my rock,
my fortress
and
my deliverer;
my God is my rock,
in whom I take refuge,
my shield
and the horn of my salvation,
my stronghold.
Psalm 18:2 NIV
This song continues and in the middle of this verse is;
"In whom I take refuge"
There's the "in whom" part - put your trust in the Living God, revealed in His Word, and in The Word - Jesus
It's the action here that's important today...
"...I take refuge"
This is not a sitting around, sitting back thing but a choosing, an action, a step.
Today
I'm going to choose to take refuge in God
I'm going to choose to stand on the Rock of his salvation
I'm going to go to the fortress of His love for me
And there I will look for my deliverer.
There are lots of things I could look to today, but I'm going to choose my place of refuge in the God who saves.

Joseph replied..."Dont you see, you planned evil against me but God used those same plans for my good, as you see all around you right now - life for many people..." Genesis 50:19-20 MSG The view from the drone. The different perspective. "God has been at work in my life despite, in fact within the hatred that you had towards me. Even though I couldn't always see it, I kept trusting Him, even when He was silent, when all hope seemed lost... God was at work... Can you see that now?" #faith #faithinthedark
Genesis 15.8-18.ESV But he said O Lord God , how am I to know that I shall possess it? ...When the sun had gone down and it was dark, behold, a smoking fire pot and a flaming torch passed between these pieces. On that day the Lord made a covenant with Abram... March 15 was the last day we looked at Abram's story...he was questioning God and this is God's response...sacrifices and smoke and fire and a covenant...a promise... Isn't that what we crave for sometimes? God, if only you'd just show me smoke & fire, a burning bush a sign, miracle, healing...then all my questions would disappear...all my doubts would be gone... 2moro we'll see Abram's response but I think God values our faith in spite of our questions and doubts. That we choose Him anyway #faith
Psalm 42.1-11.nlt As the deer longs for streams of water, so I long for you, O God... I thirst for God, the living God. When can I go and stand before him? O God my rock l cry, Why have you forgotten me? Why must I wander around in grief, oppressed by my enemies? Their taunts break my bones. They scoff, Where is this God of yours? Why am I discouraged? Why is my heart so sad? I will put my hope in God! I will praise him again - my Savior and my God! That song "as the deer pants for the water..." seems almost nice, but it's not...it's part of a cry of anguish, of hurt, of despair...of God not giving an answer...yet...through all that...again and again he says I'll put my hope in God! #choose #hope #hopeunshaken
