Pastor’s Note August 5, 2021

A Note from Pastor Tim

 

You who live in the shelter of the Most High,
    who abide in the shadow of the Almighty,
will say to the Lord, “My refuge and my fortress;
    my God, in whom I trust.”

(Psalm 91:1, 2)                     

 

          Last Sunday we learned from Psalm 91 that God is our source of protection in the midst of trouble. Whatever difficulties we will face in the life (and we will face troubles), we can trust that God can be our refuge and fortress.

          The word “fortress” is literally translated in Hebrew as “high place,” a place that was difficult to impenetrate by intruders. So before planes and missiles and guns, a ”high place” was one of the best ways to stay protected and safe. It was also an easy place to defend. God will shelter us, He will be our refuge. He will strengthen us. He will guard us.

          As you go through the rest of your week, think of God as your fortress. Meditate on this attribute of God. He will protect and be with you. In this you can trust.

          Have a great rest of the week and know that I am praying for you.
