Psalms 9:9 (NIV)
The LORD is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble.



There are many places in today’s world that are in turmoil. As you listen to news broadcasts, you may think that there is no where to go to be safe. You may begin to fret and worry, but that will not do you any good. There is only one place that you can go to be totally secure.

The Lord Jehovah is supreme over all and He is a refuge and retreat for you. In the stronghold of His presence, you are set high above your enemies. The Most High lifts you up to dwell with Him and your foes do not have access. No one can capture you there. It is a place of prosperity and safety.

Even if you feel crushed and oppressed, shattered and broken, you will be exalted. When you find yourself in tight and narrow places, the Lord God will lift you out and up. He will set you on high and He will be your defense.
