Refuge:
Hebrews 6:17-18
17 In
the same way God, desiring even more to show to the heirs of the promise the
unchangeableness of His purpose, interposed with an oath,
18 so
that by two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for God to lie, we
who have taken refuge would have strong encouragement to take hold of the hope
set before us.
There’s a storm out there and we
need a place to take refuge from the storm. God said, “Trust in Me to take care
of you in the midst of a storm.” It’s like a dad saying to his child, “Jump.
I’ll catch you.” Can we trust Him? These verses say we can. God promised. That
should be enough for us. Then He gave His word (interposed with an oath). This
is better than pinky swear. He can’t lie. Humans can lie. They have to choose
to tell the truth. It’s not even possible for Him to lie. Jesus said that the
devil is the farther of lies; so how could God even be tempted to lie about
anything? We can take a strong grip on the hope He set before us. We can know,
that we know, that we know He will take care of us in the midst of the storm.
Come in out of the storm and trust in Him to take care of everything.
If you could hear God speak to you, I believe this is what
He would say:
"You
can trust Me, My children. I will shelter you from the storm. You can hide
beneath the shadow of My wings, and I will protect you from the evil one. You
can trust Me to take care of you in all situations. Do not depend on the world
or the things of the world to protect you. You cannot trust the world for it
will even turn on its own. But I will never turn on My own. I will always
protect My own from the evils of the world. Do not despair. I am on your side
and will always be there to protect you.”
29. God is my refuge
and my strength. What can man do to me? I can depend on Him to take care of me
because He promised He would.
