THE LORD IS YOUR REFUGE
Every day, we are bombarded with news of conflicts, natural disasters,
diseases and new strains of drug-resistant viruses. We also hear of
people losing their loved ones in freak accidents. And we ask ourselves,
“Is there a place where I can take refuge from a world gone mad?”
Yes, there is! God foresaw all these things and He has promised in His
Word protection from every evil known to man. There is no trap set by
the devil that our Father cannot deliver us from, if we trust in Him and
take Him as our refuge. That is His promise in Psalm 91.
Whether it is an earthquake at midnight, a crazy sniper, an unknown
virus or a terrorist attack, God says, “You shall not be afraid of the
terror by night, nor of the arrow that flies by day, nor of the
pestilence that walks in darkness, nor of the destruction that lays
waste at noonday.” (Psalm 91:5–6)
Because you have made Him your dwelling place, angels are watching over
you right now. (Psalm 91:9–11) They give heed to the voice of God’s
Word, so you should give voice to God’s Word. This means that you should
agree with and speak what God’s Word says about His preserving and
protecting you. Then, angels are sent to minister for you. (Hebrews
1:14)
My friend, don’t say, “If it can happen to them, it can also happen to
me!” Say, “A thousand may fall at my side and 10,000 at my right hand,
but it will not come near me!” (Psalm 91:7) The world says that you
cannot but expect danger all around. God says, “You are in this world
but not of this world. You have My protection because you are of Me and
in Me.” (John 17:14–23)
You have access by faith into the secret place of the Most High where
no evil can touch you. There is no need to fear living in the end times
because the Lord is your refuge and fortress. His Word says so. And
those who trust His Word completely find His Word completely true!
