God is our refuge and strength, a very
present help in trouble. Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be
removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea. (Psalm 46:1-2)
When you think of it you will realise that your problems and
challenges in life is planned ahead for years by the enemy. He is always busy
pushing you into a direction so that you will fall into his trap. I can tell
you I know, because I see it in my last one. He took his time and now he found
a weakness in me that he is exploiting. You see when it comes to my kids, I have
many weaknesses and the enemy is using everyone to get to me.
Now, I have a hiding place. When the challenges get to me
and the world around me tries to swallow me, I hide in my shelter. The Lord my
God is my shelter, He is my refuge and my sanctuary. He is my place of safety
and He is my strength when I find myself in need and in trouble. That is why I will
not fear even if the world around me falls apart and believe me it happened a
few times in past two months.
When the darkness comes, He is my light and when I get so
upset at the pain, He is my peace. He will pick me up when I have fallen, and
He will restore me when I am broken. He will guide me back to my path and He
will carry me when I am weak. He will lead me to those fountains of hope and to
those steams of still waters.
He will prepare that table for me and my cup will run over,
and I will shout out that the Lord is my refuge and my fortress and in Him alone
will I place my trust. He will deliver me from the snare of the enemy and the
pain of this world. He will fill me with His joy and He will realign my life
with His plan and His path.
Surely goodness and mercy shall be with me all through my
life and in the end I will dwell in the house of my Lord forever.
Have an awesome day dear friend of Jesus.
Cheers
