00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:08,100
I'm thinking today of Psalms 142 verse 5. Psalms 142 verse 5. It says,

2
00:00:08,100 --> 00:00:15,000
I cried out to you, O Lord. I said, you are my refuge, my portion in the land of the living.

3
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:20,000
God is my guardian. He watches over me and he never fails. He is what I need.

4
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:27,000
He fulfilled my purpose, my provision, sustained me to live not just today but forever.

5
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:33,000
So in the worst of times, I can hold on to God. I can cry out to God. I can call him refuge.

6
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:37,000
I can call him sustainer. And he has seen me through the darkest hours of my life.

7
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:40,000
The truth is that happened even before I was saved. I just didn't know it.

8
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:44,000
But now, I live for him on a daily basis and he makes me able.

9
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:48,000
I would encourage you today to trust in the Lord. Maybe you're in a really dark spot,

10
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:52,000
a difficult place and you need to cry out and say, God, be my refuge.

11
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:56,000
You are my portion in the land of the living. I don't want to wait until I get to heaven

12
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:59,000
and walk with you to be near to you. I want to be near you every day.

13
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:02,000
And God says if you'll draw near to him, he'll draw near to you.

14
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:06,000
Perhaps you need to get involved in a local church. I encourage you to check one out

15
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:08,000
until you find the one where God's plugging you in.

16
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:12,000
