GOD IS YOUR REFUGE 

Welcome to Day 7

We're going to take a moment to put our eyes, our faith, and our focus on the love, grace, and goodness of our God. So be still, try to switch off from the busyness around you. Take a moment to shift the focus from whatever's going on in your room, in your mind, in your body, and place your focus in the healing power of Jesus.

SCRIPTURE MEDITATION

We're going to be reading from Psalms 91 - one of my favorite Psalms over the next few days. Today, we're going to cover verses 1-4. I love this chapter in the Bible because it foretells us of the work and the place that Christ would earn to position us in.  It says, 

"He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, 'He is my refuge and my fortress; my God, in Him I will trust. He will deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the perilous pestilence. He shall cover you with His feathers, and under His wings, you shall take refuge."

I love this scripture because it tells us there's a secret place God wants us to position ourselves in. That's actually the finished work. 

We position ourselves in Christ. Why? Because in Christ, we are placed in the place of the Most High, under the shadow of the Almighty; Protected, saying, 'God is our refuge and our fortress, in Him I'm going to trust because He will deliver me from the snare of the fowler'.

That speaks to even if you're in a mess today - because you did the wrong thing, you fell into temptation. Maybe you find yourself being trapped right now. Interestingly, the enemy does set traps for you, and you might even follow them and find yourself entrapped in them. You might find yourself in a mess right now; Find yourself living in regret because you've done the wrong things. 

Jesus came to deliver you from that snare. He came to save you, and not only that, but He also deals with our perilous pestilence. In Hebrew, that literally means the killing of plagues and viruses. God, today delivers you from disease, sickness, and even literally viruses. He also delivers you from your mistakes and your regrets. He wants you to live in that secret place, knowing He has a future for you today.

PRAYER

Father, I thank you that we have a revelation that You are our refuge. Christ is our fortress, and in Jesus, we trust because He delivers us, He restores us, He works for us, and He protects us in Jesus' name. Amen.

COMMUNION

Receiving communion is a powerful moment, and we encourage you to take bread or a cracker, water, or juice around you. Even in a hospital room, you can use some of the food and water set aside as a powerful moment to receive communion. Communion is about placing your faith for your healing in the broken body of Jesus and for your forgiveness in the blood of Jesus by placing your focus on what Jesus has done for you. As you receive communion, reflect powerfully that no matter what you face, Jesus is greater, His love for you is greater, and He so desires to see you healthy and whole.

PRAYER OF BLESSING

Now I’d like to pray a blessing over you. May the Lord bless you and keep you. May His face shine upon you and show you His grace and give you peace.

-Numbers 6:24-26
