MY REFUGE & FORTRESS!

1 Chronicles 4:10 – Devotional

1 Chronicles 4:10

“I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.“

Each time I read this verse, it seems that a new insight grabs my attention. Actually, there are two words that capture my interest: “refuge” and “fortress.”

In the past few years there have been television programs that follow as a lone individual who is dropped into a remote area of the globe and left to survive on their own resources for one week. They are not provided food or water and must make their way on what can be gleaned from the land in which they have been thrust.

Water is the first essential to be obtained, closely followed by starting a fire and preparing a shelter to protect from the elements. It is surprising how ingenious these they become in erecting a shelter from the rain, cold, or in some desert areas, the sun. While these make-shift covers may be a place to pause, they are not a place to dwell and rest.

It is tragic that many people go through this life erecting “shelters” that they hope will satisfy. Some of these may even cost millions of dollars, but like every other thing in this world, they are destined to pass away.

May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!
