Our Lord, Our Refuge

Psalm 91:1-2, 9-16


This scripture selection from Psalms is a hymn of faith, faith that our Heavenly Father will care for us as He does all of His creation.  The Lord is our refuge when we are in trouble, a protector who carries us through life’s journey.  We must entrust ourselves to Him, allowing His comfort to flow over and through our lives. 

Jesus Christ was goodness incarnate, yet he suffered in mind and body, and died.  Thus, our bodies are not immune to mental and physical stress or pain because we are Christians.  We do have God’s constant presence and the guarantee of eternal life.

Hope and confidence are offered in Psalms for today’s devotional:  a hope that is rooted in the Lord, and a confidence that through His help and guidance we may be able to meet the challenges in our daily lives.

Prayer:  Heavenly Father, we praise you for all the ways that you care for your creation.  Come dwell among and in us so that we may be sheltered all the days of our lives.  Amen.
