Bible Verse of The Day – 12-14-23

Psalm 9:9-10 (NKJV) 9 The Lord also will be a refuge for the oppressed, A refuge in times of trouble. 10 And those who know Your name will put their trust in You; For You, Lord, have not forsaken those who seek You.

As we seek Him and put our trust in Him, He is there with us through thick and thin.

So many times, I’ve been in predicaments in my life that were very difficult, like most of you. When that has happened, He was there!

He was there when I was lost, coaxing me and drawing me by the Holy Spirit.

As I sat listening to the preacher telling me all about Him, the moment came when I knew I had to get up out of my seat and walk down that aisle and repent, putting my faith in Him, trusting Him as my Savior.

He was there when I was going to get blamed for something I didn’t do but had been tagging along with others who were trouble.

He was there when I was testing the boundaries, feeling conviction, but trying to ignore it.

He was there when I almost lost everything I owned.

He was there when my loved ones passed away.

He was there when I was broken, when I cried so hard my eyes ached from the tears.

He is always there, and has always protected, shielded, comforted and brought me through it all.

You see if we do not break, He can never fix us.

He waits for us to stop trying to hold it all together by our own strength. We can break. We can let go. We can admit that we cannot bear any more of what we are dealing with.

He is there. He is our refuge. He will mend us if we let Him.

God bless you and keep you safe, today and forever. Amen.
