Security: God Sees You
When you hear the word “refuge,” what image comes to mind? You might think of a fortress surrounded by water to keep those inside safe from anyone seeking to do them harm. The Bible describes God as our refuge—our safe place of protection. Understanding this helps us trust God more fully.

“God sees you. He sees you. He loves you. He has a plan for you. One you cannot even imagine.”
God sees you too and He loves you. He has a plan for your life. Are you secure in His refuge?
