"Lord you are my strength and fortress, my refuge, IN THE DAY OF TROUBLE!"
Every person has a day of trouble. In fact we have many days of trouble throughout most of our lives on earth. What kind of trouble have you been having? Have you had cancer? Have you had a financial difficulty? Have you lost your retirement income? Have you been diagnosed with a serious condition or terminal illness? Has your family suffered a serious blow that has had an effect on you? Has there been a dissolution of a marital relationship that once was thought to be impenetrable? Have you had a problem with sex, drugs, or alcohol? Have you lost the respect of your children or family? You will have problems, and the question is what will you do IN THE DAY OF TROUBLE?
There are two obvious answers to this question and the difference will depend on what you believe. If you do not believe in God you will seek refuge in a variety of ways. Unfortunately, non of the answers will bring you satisfaction. Man does not have the answers to your most important questions. No religious idols of humanistic approaches will take you to a place of refuge. There is no power on earth, that has a beginning and an end, that can possibly save you from your dilemma. The only thing that will give you strength and refuge and be a fortress in your time of trouble is Jesus Christ the Lord God! So if you are in a time of trouble or find yourself depressed, then you have to focus yourself on the right solution. God is really the only answer that will bring you satisfaction and allow you to be saved IN THE DAY OF TROUBLE!
"Lord you are my strength and my fortress, my refuge in the day of trouble." That is the One Truth Today. In the day of your affliction there is only one strong tower and one fortress that you can run into and hide. The Lord is the only answer and the correct answer to where and how you can seek refuge. Whenever the world comes crashing down on you, and it will, you should have a rock you can stand on, a fortress you can run to and a tower you can hide in. Where else can you go but to the eternal Lord? So even if you lose everything in the world or your body is dying or decaying, or any other serious problem occurs in your life, there is only one place that you can go and be saved. The Lord is my refuge IN THE DAY OF TROUBLE!
