Our refuge and strength!

"God is our refuge and strength!" Psalm 41:1

The present world is a wilderness! 
Here we are exposed . . .
to storms and tempests,
to dangers and foes!

If left to provide for ourselves—our enemies would triumph over us—and we must perish! But the Lord has condescended to become the refuge of His people. To Him we may repair and . . .
find safety,
receive supplies,
and enjoy repose. 

If He defends us—no one can injure us!

If He is our refuge—nothing can overcome us! 

Every Christian can say, "The Lord is my refuge!"

Beloved, let us keep this in view today . . . 
whatever trials we may meet with,
whatever tempests we may have to pass through,
whatever foes may assail us—
the Lord will protect and defend us . . .
from the wrath of man,
from the rage of hell,
from the storms of time, 
—He will shelter and screen us!

He will not only receive and protect us—but he will strengthen us with strength in our souls. 

If God is our refuge—we must be safe!

If God is our strength—we shall certainly overcome! 

Let us therefore fly to Him—our refuge and strength!
