“In You, O Lord, I put my trust;
Let me never be put to shame.
Deliver me in Your righteousness, and cause me to escape;
Incline Your ear to me, and save me.
Be my strong refuge,
To which I may resort continually;
You have given the commandment to save me,
For You are my rock and my fortress.” Psalm 71:1-3
How often do you seek refuge in God? Does the magnitude of your challenge make you feel like God is so far? Do you know the way to reach Him? His Word is the bridge and His Spirit will carry to that way.
Do you only seek His face when you are at church? When you are troubled? When you receive bad news?
When Jesus promised in Matthew 28:20, that He will be with us always, even to the end of the ages, He meant He is with us CONTINUALLY, all the time.
That means He is a refuge for us in every moment of our lives. Do you know that while you were sleeping last night, Someone was watching you? That Someone is the Holy Spirit. The Bible says in Psalm 121:3 that God never closes His eyes on us, that He watches over us, He who guards us does not slumber nor sleep. If He is with us all the time why then do so many of us only seek refuge in Him occasionally?
God’s love never takes a day off; therefore, to be aware of His presence and love, faith should never take a day off; it is a lifestyle of trusting in God’s unfailing love. That is how we can seek refuge in Him continually.
