My Refuge is In the Lord

Scripture Psalms 91:2 I will say of the LORD, “He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in Him I will trust.”

Observation: Lately I’ve been struggling with my job. I wake up in the morning treading going to work, even to the point of feeling ill. I ponder all kinds of reasons why I hate my job so much and dwell there a good part of the day. I must be bringing so much joy to Satan, if I trusted in my God like I say I do and take refuge in Him, I would never feel the way I do. Instead of worrying about tomorrow I would spend time with God today. We only have the time we have in the present and nothing more is promised, not even the next minute.

Application: To do what I was created for and to be the man God calls me to be is to trust in Him and draw close and seek His guidance no matter what I might be going through. I need to stop living for me and trust my Lord to guide me to the place He wants me to be. I need to stop the distractions in this life and stay focused on my Lord and completely trust Him, for He cares for me and He has always shown me that.

Prayer: My Lord as you have always put on my heart Proverbs 3:5, 6 Help me trust in you with all of my heart and lean not on my own understanding, but in all my ways acknowledge you and allow you to make my paths straight. I know you want the best for me, may I give myself totally to you and seek refuge only in You.
