The Lord, Our Refuge

"The Lord also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble. And those who know Your Name will put their trust in You; for you, Lord have not forsaken those who seek You."(Psalm 9:6)

These words bring great comfort to me because of the perilous times in which we live. Security as we have known it is no more. Our country is at a crossroads. Unemployment, homelessness and crime are all on the rise. People are without hope; despair has become the norm.

But.

But, this scripture promises me that the Lord is my refuge, a refuge in times of trouble. "He is a stabilizing force for Believers in the midst of the uncertain times of this present age." (commentary, The Spirit Filled Life Bible)

Do you know His Name? Not just literally. But, do you KNOW the One behind the Name? He is our Provider, our Healer. He is the God Who Sees, the Lord our Peace. He is our Shepherd, our Righteousness and The Everlasting God. He IS...

"And those who KNOW Your name will put their trust in You; for you Lord, have not forsaken those who seek You."

Thank You, Father! You are the God Who changes not! When everything around us is falling apart, You, Lord are steady, secure, constant. That gives me great peace. Lord, You are our source and You will never fail us. We can depend on You. We can trust You in all things. Praise You and bless Your Holy Name!!
