Psalm 91:4 - He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.
I just want to take a moment and focus on the first part of this verse. Especially, "and under his wings you will find refuge." So many times in my life I have looked for refuge in other places, whether it be friends, music, boys, family, school, etc. I think you can even go as far to say that often times we look for refuge in church. People come to church broken and bruised, expecting to be filled with encouragement from fellow believers. Don't get me wrong, the body of Christ is meant for fellowship and encouragement, but instead of running to earthly things for help, why do we find it so hard to run to God? He is the one who provides faithfulness that "will be your shield and rampart."
This is something that has been on my mind a lot lately. Our loving God wants us to look to Him through all circumstances. He is our foundation. He loves us more than we can even imagine and understands and relates to our circumstances more than anyone here on earth is able to. So the next time I go through a hard time, instead of venting to my friend or the nearest person I can find, I am going to look to God and accept the gift of His open arms. After all, He is head over heels in love with us. Why wouldn't I accept that offer?
