In you, O Lord, I take refuge; let me never be put to shame. In your righteousness deliver me and rescue me; incline your ear to me and save me. Be to me a rock of refuge, a strong fortress, to save me, for you are my rock and my fortress. Rescue me, O my God, from the hand of the wicked, from the grasp of the unjust and cruel. For you, O Lord, are my hope, my trust, O Lord, from my youth. Upon you I have leaned from my birth; it was you who took me from my mother’s womb. My praise is continually of you. (Psalm 71:1-6 NRSV)
Life is hard. That is a statement everybody understands. We all look for the thing the thing that will make life easier. And that is not God.
Many think that when they come to accept that they are accepted by God that everything will get easy and good things will happen. No where does the bible or God say or promise this. He will give us good things. However life is full of humans and we are sinful and we are battling that every day.
I for one can say that I take refuge in God and He is a strong fortress, to save me, for He is my rock and my fortress. The last year has been a battle with trying to find a job, not empty the bank accounts, and keeping the families life “normal”. Through all if it God has been with me and my family. We have not had it easy ans we are buckling down and seeing what we have been truly blessed with. God has never left us, nor forsaken us. God has been a stronghold for me and has helped me maintain my life during this down portion of my life.
Look to God and know that He will always be there for you.
