Refuge and Peace
There are blessings for those willing to trust in the wisdom of the LORD. God’s word is our moral compass for righteous living. There is a word defined as refuge. It means a place of safety, shelter, or relief from danger or anxiety. Psalms 46 vs. 1 says, “God is our refuge and strength, A very present help in trouble.”
There is refuge in knowing the wisdom of God. Proverbs 3 vss. 13 and 14 says, “Happy is the man who finds wisdom, and the man who gains understanding. For her proceeds are better than the profits of silver, And her gain than fine gold.”
There are some things money cannot buy. God sent Jesus into the world to save mankind from sin. The salvation of Jesus Christ is free. For those willing to trust in Jesus as Lord and Savior, we can find refuge today in the meaning of the words Jesus spoke to His disciples over 2,000 years ago. John 16 vs. 33 He says, “In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”
Not one scintilla; not even a smidgeon of those words will ever change irrespective of the time period. Yet so many people would rather follow the misguided wisdom of mankind, with his storied track record of failure, whenever he opposes the wisdom of God. Numbers 23 vs.19 says; “God is not a man, that He should lie, Nor a son of man, that He should repent. Has He said, and will He not do? Or has He spoken and will He not make it good.”
Psalms 37 vss. 26 thru 31 says; “He is ever merciful, and lends; And his descendants are blessed. Depart from evil, and do good; and dwell forevermore. For the LORD loves justice, And does not forsake His saints; They are preserved forever. But the descendants of the wicked shall be cut off. The righteous shall inherit the land, And dwell in it forever. The mouth of the righteous speaks wisdom, And his tongue talks of justice. The law of his God is in his heart; None of his steps should slide.”
Vss. 37 and 38 says; “Mark the blameless man, and observe the upright; For the future of that man is peace. But the transgressors shall be destroyed together; The future of the wicked shall be cut off.” Learn to place all of your trust in the living God! Psalm 46 vs. 10 says; “Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!
