Daily Devotions

Isa 25:4 For thou hast been a strength to the poor, a strength to the needy in his distress, a refuge from the storm, a shadow from the heat, when the blast of the terrible ones is as a storm against the wall.
Jer 16:19 O Lord, my strength, and my fortress, and my refuge in the day of affliction, the Gentiles shall come unto thee from the ends of the earth, and shall say, Surely our fathers have inherited lies, vanity, and things wherein there is no profit.
Heb 6:18 That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us:
KJV
Who doesn’t need the refuge our God can supply? Israel certainly needed that refuge in the Old Testament and we need that refuge today, we need take refuge in the Lord Jesus Christ and rest in that hope that is set before us. The problem with Israel was that they seldom took refuge in the Lord. Instead they turned to kings and idols, to the ways of the world and the ideas of man and they never did find that permanent refuge that God had and has for them. How sad today that we often as professing believers will turn in other directions for refuge from the situations and circumstances that we see in the first two verses of our reading this morning. In distress, in a storm, in affliction, I certainly need refuge and that refuge that I so often need can be found no other place than in Jesus my Lord. Why they trun away from Him, why turn to other places when He can provide the refuge that I need?
