Our refuge!'

"The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my 
deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take 
 refuge. He is my shield and the horn of my  
salvation—my stronghold." Psalm 18:2

On every side are hosts of enemies ever 
invading our souls—trampling down every 
good thing in our hearts—accompanied by 
a flying troop of temptations, doubts, fears,
guilt and bondage sweeping over our soul. 
And we, as regards our own strength,

are helpless against them. 

But there is a refuge set before us in the 
gospel of the grace of God. The Lord Jesus 
Christ, as King in Zion, is there held up 
before our eyes as . . .
the Rock of our refuge,
our strong Tower,
our impregnable Fortress; 
and we are encouraged by every precious promise 
and every gospel invitation when we are overrun 
and distressed by these wandering, ravaging, 
plundering tribes—to flee unto and find a safe 
refuge in Him.

"Keep me safe, O God, for in You I take refuge."
Psalm 16:1

"O Lord my God, I take refuge in You; save 
and deliver me from all who pursue me."
Psalm 7:1
