"But the Lord shall endure forever: He hath prepared His throne for judgment. 8. And He shall judge the world in righteousness, He shall minister judgment to the people in uprightness. 9. The Lord will also be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble."
We know that God can judge us, as mentioned in Psalm 9:7-8. In verse 9 we discover that "God is a refuge for the oppressed in time of trouble." When we are going through times of trouble the Lord will be our refuge. This is a wonderful reminder. Sometimes, even we who believe, forget that God will be our "refuge in times of trouble." I have learned to seek Him when I am going through times of trouble, even when I caused the time of trouble. Sometimes my mouth will cause we a time of trouble, but that doesn't mean that God has stopped loving me. I am His by faith in Jesus Christ, and He will forgive me and be a time of refuge in times of trouble. We can take refuge in the greatness of God. When I am praying outside, I look at the sky and say to myself that God is greater than all that I see, and He still loves me in spite of me. There are times when I have to ask for God's forgiveness before I can receive His refuge, and He forgives me, and is still there for refuge. You might think you cannot receive refuge from God because of some wrong that you have done. When we sincerely ask for God's forgiveness, we receive it and He will be a refuge for us. We might have to pay for that wrong, but we can still find refuge in our great God. I'm writing this to help you understand that God really wants to be a refuge for you in your times of trouble, and in all of your life. Perhaps you will need to ask His forgiveness. You need to know that He is ready to forgive you if you have sincerely repented. Do not forget that God loves you and wants the best for you. But do not forget that He wants you to want the best for yourself. Seek God's refuge now. This can be a life changing experience for you. Bro. Joe
