Refuge & Strength

Psalm 46:1
God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.

This verse stood out to me as I started trying to write today’s devo.  This is so true and yet kind of sad because of how it is written and it being so true.

What I mean is the focus of the second part of the verse.  God is our refuge and strength, the sad part is we tend to turn to him for that only during times of trouble.  It’s so easy to go on living in a good mood, never really giving praise to God when life is good.  But as soon as there is trouble, we are quick to call on him.  We are also quick to blame him if that trouble does not get resolved how we would want it to.


Today I want to encourage you to make God your refuge and strength in everything you do.  In the good times, in the times when things are going well, make sure to still make God a part of those, giving him credit for being your refuge and strength.
