“The Lord is a shelter for the oppressed, a refuge in times of
trouble.” Psalm 9:9, The Bible (New
Living Translation)
The stress that our lives produce at times can cause us to travel to
places of no return.
We run around - feeling exhausted as our bodies go through a stressed-related
slow burn.
By the end of a bad day, our heads are thumping and all we want to
do is to numb the pain.
We reach for the painkillers or maybe we reach for another strong
drink again.
This scripture reminds us that God is the ultimate medicine for any
oppression we feel.
Whether the result is a headache, a breakdown, a fever – he is a
refuge stronger than steel.
When place our hopes and trust in him, he is ready to shelter us and
to give us healing.
God can be our pain medicine and refuge – what a great relief and
what a feeling!
