Refuge In The Day Of Distress

“But I will sing of Your mighty strength and power; yes, I will sing aloud of Your mercy and loving-kindness in the morning; for You have been to me a defense (a fortress and a high tower) and a refuge in the day of my distress.” In the days of distress, who is there for you. Who has your back when you’re hanging on by a tread to life itself. No one can hold you together better than the one who put you together. The Lord knows our make-up better than anyone. Some people have known you for a long time, but no one knows us better than the one who created us. Those times in life when we find ourselves in predicaments we cannot easily get out of is when the mercy of God comes in. Because God’s mercies are new every morning, we can ride the train of deliverance and can count on the deliverer to be on time all the time. He is our defender and place of safety in times of trouble, that’s His word of promise. But no matter how much this is explained and broken down, it won’t help you if you don’t believe it. The greatest power on earth is the faith filled words coming out of the mouth of a God fearing christian. Trouble is the one thing we can count on that’s always on its way to us. Knowing our authority in Christ brings us to a whole other level of victorious living. David was singing of the Lord’s mighty strength and power. He was keeping close to his heart the Christ inside mentality, and expecting God’s help of mercy, strength, and the power to get through anything that came his way.
