God Is My Refuge

Psalm 5:11a

But let all who take refuge in You be glad; let them ever sing for joy.

This Psalm was beautifully written by King David when he was under attack on various occasions. When he was under attack, he took refuge in God through prayer. When you are being attacked, the first thing you wish to do would be taking revenge. However, just like David, bring your pain to God through honest and sincere prayer. God listened to every single one of your prayers!

When David was under attack, he put his confidence in God as his refuge. King David knew God’s character. He believed that his righteous God would act on his behalf. He had full confidence that God would deliver him from those who attacked him. 

God is a refuge for those who love and trust Him. The dictionary says that a "refuge" is a place that provides shelter or protection. "God is your refuge" means God will protect you from enemies and evil. Let’s rejoice and be joyful in God because He will not let anything bad and evil touch you.

Prayer

Dear God, thank You for being my refuge where I can find my victory. I am rejoicing for this amazing grace. Amen.
