“I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.” – Psalm 91:2
A declaration like a destination arrived at by choice alone not by birth.
This one is not by calling or by bequest.
A heritage by reservation for the interested only it is.
Yet not an inheritance as with a property that must be effortlessly conferred on a benefactor.
Such is the supreme protection of the Lord reserved for His favourites.
These with confidence make their boast on a regular in and out of season saying;
Before the ravenous wicked arrows of their enemies, “The Lord is my REFUGE!”, and are shielded away;
Before the raging storms of life, “The Lord is my FORTRESS!”, and they flourish in hard times;
In unfavourable tides and disturbing news, “In God I trust”, and they are never thrust out in shame.
And who are these favoured ones?
They are those who have of their own volition handed over the affairs of their lives to Him in totality.
They, by understanding, live by every word from His fountain of wisdom and glory ceaselessly.
The same are them that dwell in the secret place of this Most High God.
These have found grace to abide right under the shadow of the Almighty.
Deliverance is their song and life forevermore is their story.
There is no better place in the universe to be than here.
Come over friends and see for yourself.
Stay blessed.
