'The Lord also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble' (Psalm 9:9).
The Scripture tells us that the salvation of the righteous is of the Lord: He is their strength in times of trouble (Psalm 37:39). Therefore, the Lord will help and deliver them from the wicked and save them, because they trusted in Him (Psalm 37:40).
There is a great war raging between Christ and Satan for our souls. Satan knows he has a short time and is working overtime to destroy God's people. But Christ has already won the victory, we just need to trust and obey Him, so we can be victorious.The success of evil is only temporary, but in the end the righteous will endure, because Christ is our righteous Judge and our Champion.
The Lord our Saviour is our stronghold, and all who are oppressed will find a safe and secure haven in Him.
There are many of God's people who are being oppressed - being abused by others who exercise control over them. God will defend them and be a refuge in times of trouble.
As Christians, we may find ourselves facing extreme adversity, as a result of us following Christ. When we trust the Lord and remain obedient unto him, we will surely find safety in Him. The Lord promised He will never leave or forsake us. There are times when He will allow us to go through the fiery furnace, so as to, strengthen our faith or for His glory, but He is right by our side. Other times He will protect us from those fiery experiences. Let us remember that our God is bigger and more powerful than our problems or situations. We, therefore, need not to worry or fret, but to hold on to Christ, who is our Solid Rock.
It behoves us to learn to trust in the Lord, in difficult times.
In the good times it seems easier to trust God that everything is working well, whilst in the difficult times, when our faith is tested, we sometimes find it hard to trust him. However, that's when we need him the most, so we ought to look to Christ for our help.
We are all oppressed by the burden of sin, and Satan trys to trample upon us, every opportunity he gets; to squeeze out the dear life out of us. But thank God for Jesus, who is and will be a refuge for us. All we need to do is simply trust Him. He is our refuge when all others fail, but we can trust Him at all times, because our salvation is in Him and he is our strength in times of trouble.
Have a wonderful day
'But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you' (Matthew 6:33). The Lord is our Provider and knows all that we are in need of before we even ask. We do not need to worry or fret ourselves about what we shall eat or drink. Our Father in heaven will take care of these things we need. We are told by Jesus, 'To seek first the kingdom of God.' What does that mean? It means we should lean on, and trust in the grace of Jesus Christ. We should repent of our sins and have a desire to turn away from it. We should seek to put God first in our praise to Him, in our worship of Him, to put our total trust in Him and to rely on Him rather than ourselves or others. We need to seek Him first in our reassurance and acknowledging who He is and what He can do. We also need to seek God's righteousness by loving our neighbors and feeding the poor and destitute, seek justice for the vulnerable. We should put God's plan and
