"Lord you are my strength and fortress, MY REFUGE IN THE DAY OF TROUBLE!"
Every person will have a day of trouble. In fact throughout our lives on this earth there may be many days of trouble. What kind of trouble have you experienced? Have you had a serious illness, financial problem, or been physically or mentally injured? Have you lost someone or something that was very important to you? Has there been a dissolution of a relationship that you thought was impenetrable? Have you had problems with alcohol, drugs or sex that have ruined your life? Have you lost the respect of your family, or friends. The question is what will you do in your time of struggle. If you are a believer you can say, Lord, you are my strength and my fortress, MY REFUGE IN THE DAY OF TROUBLE!
The answer to what you will do in a day of trouble is dependent on your belief's. There are two obvious answers. If you believe in Jesus Christ the Lord God you will always have a refuge and a strong fortress to run into to be Saved. If you do not believe in God you will have to rely on yourself, alcohol, drugs, sex or some other ineffective and dangerous solution. No worldly way will be an answer for you in the day of trouble. Man does not have the answer. Religious idols and humanistic approaches are pathetic and will offer no solution. The only power on this earth that can Save you IN THE DAY OF TROUBLE is the Lord. The Lord will offer the only real fortress and strength to you.
Lord you are my strength and my fortress, MY REFUGE IN THE DAY OF TROUBLE. That is the One Truth Today. In your time of affliction there is only one strong tower, one fortress and one place of refuge, Jesus Christ the Lord God, has the answer. When the world comes crashing down on you, and it will, you need a Rock to stand on, a Tower to run into, a Fortress that is impenetrable. Where else can you go but to the Lord who has the eternal answer to your problem. If you lose everything you have in this world including your body you will still have eternal life in Heaven with the Lord, if you believe! If you are a believer then you can say, God be MY REFUGE IN THE DAY OF TROUBLE.
