My God in Whom I Trust

Psalm 91:2
“I will say to the LORD, 'My refuge and my fortress, My God in whom I trust!'”

God loves His refugees.

Our great nation is not what it once was and though I am still proud of being an American, I am troubled by the seismic tremors of change. Not all change is good and what we are seeing in our current leadership is wrong on many levels. In whom may we take solace for political redress? Though there are some who cry out within our government, their voices are not being heard and even though many are rising up to protest, yet they may ultimately be ignored. Those with faith are standing in a lonely place and we do not yet see on our horizon the dim silhouette of a leader riding to our rescue. These are frightening times in our nation's history and those who fear God seem to be in a vulnerable place. The temptation is to feel helpless and hopeless. To feel just like a refugee. Many say, “Organize” but that would be trusting in men and there are many strong organizations who oppose God. God says “Trust in Me!” and this is our test. So many issues and concerns flooding our hearts that our souls begin to slip. Like a soul holding on in surging flood waters, even so we must hold fast to the Hand of rescue and never let go. We must seek His refuge in this heat of the battle. Our God has not sounded retreat but He has called us to His fortifications. He has called us to a place where we are sustained by His strength and wisdom. The battle rages outside and some will fall but those who take refuge will be made stronger for the coming victory. Now is the time for us to fully acknowledge His fortifications. See how strong He has made His Kingdom! The traces of past conflicts have seared the facade but no crack or weakness is to be found in His walls. No displacement of His foundation has been accomplished though our enemy has tried long and pressed fervently upon it. Let us take unto ourselves the strength of His surrounding truth and the resilience of His constant presence and leadership. There is no question who will win the battle. Our challenge is to be found among those victoriously declaring, “My God in Whom I Trust!”

Our Prayer:

LORD,
I am fearful in the midst of strife,
My heart is faint from evil's might,
Yet I trust You to save my life
And set my soul in victory's light!
In Jesus' victorious name I pray
Amen.

Follow God's direction
There is no hope in defection.
