“The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble.” Ps. 9:9.
Unlike us as human being, God is not a man, He never makes a promise that He doesn’t keep. His promises are always dependable and true, because they are founded on his unchangeable character, moral perfection and sovereign power. God cannot lie. His promises are like a secure anchor for believers, providing security and stability even when circumstances are hard and hopeless. In contrast, false promises are disappointing no matter how firmly one believes them. Consider one of the most powerful promises in all of God’s Word: “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.”
God’s Word is so powerful, so immovable, that He gave us His assurance. You will never need to fear. It does not matter if the whole world is in turmoil. The earth may quake and mountains may crumble and oceans may swell. Things may be in complete chaos but because of God’s word, you will have peace like a river. Try to grasp what the Lord is telling us in this psalm. Our God is available to us at any time, day or night. He is at our right hand, willing to speak to us and guide us, and he made this a possibility by giving us his Holy Spirit to abide in us.
Peter writes, “By which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature” 2 Peter 1:4. Supernatural peace is a part of God’s divine nature and is available to all who are obedient to his Word. Jesus was sleeping in the midst of a storm, that is not because He had a sleeping disease rather it was the level of confidence He had in the Father and His ability to keep to His words. It may not be easy, but you need to summon such courage and boldness in God and His promises over your life. It may take time, hold on. It may not be easy remain resolute, this is part of the essence of Christianity.bit will eventually be to your favour, amen.
