The Lord also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble.

Psalm 9:9 (KJV)

In this Psalm, David writes that the Lord is a refuge for us. In times of trouble or oppression, we can cling to His name. Let's think about what this means and how it applies to our lives today.

First, refuge means "safe place," which is what the Lord provides to us. He cares for us in times of trouble, and tends to us when no one else will. When we are falsely accused or wounded by someone else, we can take comfort in the fact that the Lord knows exactly what happened and He is always on our side. At the same time, we know that because of Jesus, the Lord extends grace to us when we have sinned, and we can approach Him and have a relationship with Him as if we had never sinned.

If you are facing something that seems insurmountable, take your concerns to the Lord. He cares about your troubles, and there is no temptation or pain that is foreign to Jesus. He knows you, cares for you, and offers you peace today.

When we have peace from God we are safe, and this is true even if we don't know what our lives will entail. We do not have to understand what is happening or will happen; we have only to continue in trust, knowing that the Lord is faithful—always. Remember that the Lord is your refuge. Remember that He will listen to you and care for you and forgive you when no one else will. Call on His name and dwell in the freedom of His kingdom.

Today's Prayer

Dear Lord, thank you for being a refuge for me. Thank you for loving me and for caring for me in ways that no one else ever could. Help me to remember to call out to you when I am discouraged. Thank you for your Son, who died so that I might live. In Jesus' name, amen.
