July 10, 2012 ~ The Lord is my Refuge

Be my rock of refuge,

to which I can always go;

give the command to save me,

for you are my rock and my fortress.

Psalm 71:3

Thoughts~

I have been blessed with many friends over the years and each of them is there for a purpose. Some are forever friends; others are there for just a season. Some are faithful and others not so much. It hurts when I find an unfaithful friend but I move on quickly so I don’t allow the negatives to fill me with hurt and resentment. Each of my good friends have special qualities that I appreciate and can go to when I need someone to rejoice with me, pray with me or help me find a solution to a problem. Sometimes these are “in-life” friends and other times they are Internet friends who I feel extremely close to.

There is one friend who I go to with everything, my Refuge, my Rock. He never fails me, always has a perfect plan and never ever lets me down. His love for me is unconditional and nothing I do will make Him become fickle and stop being my friend. Jesus is my Forever Friend.

Action~

Spend some outside time today and look for a rock that you can set next to your computer. It can be any size, any shape or any color. If you want, you can write a verse or word on it. When you feel alone, when you need a perfect refuge, let the rock serve as a visual reminder that the Lord is your Rock, your refuge and your Fortress.

Pray~

Thank you Lord for loving me so unconditionally. Thank you for being my refuge and fortress, for being absolutely everything I need.

Trusting the Lord,

Becky
