I'm thinking today of Psalms 142 verse 5. Psalms 142 verse 5. It says,
I cried out to you, O Lord. I said, you are my refuge, my portion in the land of the living.
God is my guardian. He watches over me and he never fails. He is what I need.
He fulfilled my purpose, my provision, sustained me to live not just today but forever.
So in the worst of times, I can hold on to God. I can cry out to God. I can call him refuge.
I can call him sustainer. And he has seen me through the darkest hours of my life.
The truth is that happened even before I was saved. I just didn't know it.
But now, I live for him on a daily basis and he makes me able.
I would encourage you today to trust in the Lord. Maybe you're in a really dark spot,
a difficult place and you need to cry out and say, God, be my refuge.
You are my portion in the land of the living. I don't want to wait until I get to heaven
and walk with you to be near to you. I want to be near you every day.
And God says if you'll draw near to him, he'll draw near to you.
Perhaps you need to get involved in a local church. I encourage you to check one out
until you find the one where God's plugging you in.
