“You are my refuge and my shield; I have put my hope in your word.” – Psalm 119:114
A refuge is a place of safety and a shield is used for protection; descriptive words for Almighty God. They paint a picture of an impenetrable castle and a large, thick, steel armor plate. This is who God is to us; a person we can turn to at any and all times for safety and protection. Our hope is found in God and Him alone. Nothing this side of heaven can provide the security God can provide to those who have placed their unwavering faith and trust in Him. We must not allow the trials of this life to diminish our reliance on God for He is stronger than any calamity that may befall us. Our God shall sustain us though the winds may howl about us and the rains may do their worst. He shall provide the protection we need when it is needed. Hebrews 10:23 tells us to “hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful.” Trust in God for He is worthy of our trust. Until next time…walk with the King and be a blessing!
