My Strong Refuge: A Reflection
My strong refuge is a name you can call God when life feels heavy. When David called God his strong refuge, he was hiding from enemies who wanted to kill him.
Yet, he trusted that God was his salvation and strength.
Psalm 46:1 says, “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.”
My Strong Refuge means:
- You have a place to run when fear comes.
- God protects you from the attacks of the enemy.
- You can trust Him to defend you and keep you safe.
In life, there will be people or situations that shake your peace. Maybe it is family struggles, financial problems, or health fears.
God being your strong refuge is a reminder that God is bigger than every fear.
David knew this. Even when he faced Goliath, he did not rely on his sling alone. He trusted that God was his strong refuge and would give him victory.
- Today, run to God in prayer.
- Tell Him your fears.
- Trust Him to protect you.
- Remember that He is stronger than any problem you face.
- He is your rock when the ground feels shaky.
- He is your safe place when life feels dangerous.
Sometimes, God may not remove the problem immediately, but He gives you peace and courage in it.
Just like He was with Daniel in the lions’ den and with the three Hebrew boys in the fire, He will be with you.
Declare today: My strong refuge is God alone.
Let this truth guide your steps and fill you with unshakeable peace and courage to face this day with faith.
