Refuge and Strong Tower
Psalm 60-61
 |
| I pray blessings on you as you read. |
(60 v. 11-12) "Give us aid against the enemy, for the help of man is worthless. With God we will gain the victory and He will trample down our enemies." (61 v. 3) "For you have been my refuge, a strong tower against the foe."
My Thoughts
A refuge is a place where you can escape harm and ind safety. There are lots of refugees coming to Canada and the United States these days. They come because they want the freedom that is offered in these countries, which they don't have in their own countries. Some come because they are oppressed in their country. People everywhere seek refuge for different things.
When we are troubled, we should seek God first. When we seek God first, He give us comfort and guidance. Our heavenly Father is our refuge. He will guide us on what He wants us to do and where He wants us to go. God gave His people victory time and again throughout history. On their way to the land God had promised to them, they had to fight quite a few battles, then also they had to drive out the nations living in their land as well. God gave victory in so many battles. Those battles are not all with the sword.
We all have battles sometimes. Sometimes it actually is a real fight with another person or group. Other times, it's an illness, a habit, a hurt, or some kind of struggle. Maybe a bad marriage or a divorce or a job loss. God is our refuge in these times and all. Seek Him first, God will give you the victory. Sometimes the victory won't be how you expect it to be, and that's alright.
As a strong tower, God is our protection. He is our protection from the enemy. The enemy is Satan and as long as God is on our side, there is nothing Satan can do to harm us. Unless we let him. Satan may cause bad times for us, but if we stay close to God, none of his tactics will prevail. He will be crushed underneath our feet and we will be victorious in Christ.
Father God is always there for us, He never leaves us or forsakes us. Keep your focus on God and you will prevail over every ploy from Satan. Stay focused always on God so that when you do go through a hard time, you don't lose sight of God or His plan for you in your life. Starting this week, talk to God about any problems you have, any hurt you feel, anyone whom you may be quarreling with or anything else. Talk to God and ask Him what He wants from you in those situations, how He wants you to act. Then listen to His voice and be obedient. If you don't hear anything, that's alright, God will tell you or show you when the time is right.
