OUR REFUGE AND OUR ROCK

“My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from him.  He only is my rock and my salvation: he is my defence; I shall not be moved.  In God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.  Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us.  Selah.”
Psalm 62:5-8 KJV

God is our refuge and our rock.  He is also our salvation and our defence.  We can safely trust Him because He will never fail us.  We have a loving compassionate Heavenly Father Who really cares about us and wants us to share what is in our heart with Him.  He already knows but He wants us to tell Him.

Has someone ever said to you “you can call me anytime day or night”?  However, you didn’t feel comfortable waking the person in the middle of the night.  We can talk to God anytime and we will never wake Him or disturb Him.  “Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep” (Psalm 121:4).

What a comfort it is to our weary battle scarred heart to know that God is waiting for us to come to Him and tell Him how we feel.  We may think that what we have to tell Him isn’t very important but God is interested in everything we want to share with Him.  He longs to comfort us and encourage us.

Heavenly Father, thank You for being our refuge and our rock when we are criticized and ridiculed and we feel like we can’t take another step or give another smile.  I love You, dear Father, and I appreciate all You have done for me and all You do for me every day.  In Jesus’ Name, I pray.  Amen.
