Refuge in Him
Blessed are all who take refuge in him.
PSALM 2:12
Outside of Christ, we are refugees in need of a refuge. Our soul seeks asylum in Almighty God. Our spirit is on a search for security and peace. Deep within our innermost desires, we want refuge in God. Otherwise we wander around earth untethered to truth. Away from heaven we’re refugees. We need a secure place, and Jesus is our sanctuary.
Even if your faith is as slender as a spider’s thread, you can still trust in Jesus. The object of your faith matters more than the amount of your faith. His refuge isn’t just for the robust of faith—it’s especially available to those of us flailing away in doubt and fear. We’ve lost our way, and we need wisdom to map out our faith. When we take refuge in Him, we’re blessed with clarity and conviction. The Spirit is our shelter.
“I will say of the LORD, ‘He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust’” (Psalm 91:2).
He’s our refuge when hope seems extinct. He’s our refuge when financial obligations are ravishing our resources. He’s our refuge when people we depend on are nowhere to be found. He’s our refuge when health issues weigh us down. He’s our refuge when fear tests our courage. He’s our refuge when our marriage hangs in the balance. He’s our refuge when work pressures pulsate in our mind and awaken us at night. He’s our refuge when all seems to be going wrong. He’s our refuge when all seems to be going right. God is our refuge.
We’re blessed when we find refuge with our Creator. The Almighty supplies us with wisdom and understanding when we take time to listen to His instruction. Our prayers over His Word open our hearts to illuminating insights. The place of refuge holds up truth and casts out lies. Stability is another blessing from resting in His refuge. Our world rocks around us, but we have a rock in our Lord. He’s not a suspension bridge that sways with the winds of the world’s unpredictability. Nothing about our Savior is shaky.
“The LORD is good, a refuge in times of trouble.
He cares for those who trust in him” (Nahum 1:7).
How can I take refuge in God and His loving-kindness? What results from resting in Him?
