"Responses from Our Souls"
“The Lord of hosts is with us;
the God of Jacob is our refuge.”
Psalm 46:11
This is a verse that everyone should ponder.
This brief sentence speaks volumes about the caregiver of this created vast universe. This brief sentence challenges us to focus on the big picture, "God is with us." This brief sentence suggests that we can find safety.
Conflict is rampant. There is our own internal conflict and, at a more visible level, there are the conflicts of the international political arena. It feels like there is no shelter. However, the Psalm writer concluded that there is a place to find safety, there is a place for refuge.
Many of us are concluding a week of hard work today. As we move through the weekend, whether at home or in the workplace, I encourage you to remember that God is with you; take refuge in that reality. Have a good day.
A prayer for today: May I see you more clearly and trust you more dearly day by day, O Mighty God. Amen.
