God is our refuge

The Bible says God is our refuge, but what does that mean? I found a short article that explains how multifaceted that concept is. You can read it here. It was impressed upon me months ago how God is to be my refuge. I was taking so many of my thoughts and feelings to other places, but what I really needed was to pour them out to Him. Corrected, I am a much stronger Christian and a more stable human being. I have a long way to go, but I feel much stronger taking all my cares to Him instead of trying to find my own solutions. I stopped being my own refuge and much of my stress evaporated. Sure, I don't know how He's going to solve things, but I trust His ways are better than mine. 

Thank you for reading. And God bless.

When God calls a man to preach, the people will be fed with knowledge and understanding.  One thing God has reinforced with me is toward the end of the article where it says to be faithful in...

Psalm 121 is powerful. I claim it (among others) every day for a friend and her family. I believe her family is under attack, and this is a Psalm of deliverance. It could be God has me at this position and point in time in order to blanket them with prayers. I don't know, but I feel a tremendous urge to pray them almost constantly. If God has someone on your mind, it's probably because He wants you to pray about them. Listen closely to how He wants you to proceed instead of having your own agenda. You may never know whose life (or whose soul) you help to save by being obedient. Amen?  Thank you for reading. And God bless. My Tumblr .  And my other blog, None Dare Call It Treason.
