God is our Refuge

 Have mercy on me, my God, have mercy on me,
   for in you I take refuge.
I will take refuge in the shadow of your wings
   until the disaster has passed.” Psalm 57:1

These are beautiful, expressive, and striking words. In the shadow of God’s wings we always find protection, love , comfort and strength.
 
The best way to express our trust in God is to pray ( rather talk to Him). Feelings in the heart, expressed through our lips. Try to have an instantaneous communication with God. Ask for God’s mercy and Grace. Plead for God’s protection over the danger of all circumstances.
Faith is always triumphant over fear!

“Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High
   will rest in the shadow of the Almighty
 I will say of the LORD, “He is my refuge and my fortress,
   my God, in whom I trust.”Psalm 91:1-2

“I will cry unto God most high” No matter how great the danger might be - it will not be matched with the Most High Refuge. Trust God from the scratch till the end for“…God that performeth all things for me”. 

 ‘Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:’ Philippians 1:6

“God shall send forth his mercy” as we are not  trusting our mind set, but in the infinite and free favor of God.
The unshakable trust in God will instill that God would keep His Word.

‘Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away’. Matthew 24:35

This is the most simple and the most firm ground for trusting God.
Trusting God gives us a refuge in times of crisis.

 “Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; let thy glory be above all the earth.” Psalm 57:5

 Let all Glory , Honor be to the Lord Almighty.
A great part of our life  has  tryouts, crisis and problems, many of them involve danger and we need a refuge. There is only One refuge that is adequate and trustworthy – The Lord Almighty.

Be Confident and cheerful.
Have a blessed day
God Bless
