One Verse Devotional

No matter what has happened in your life, God is a place of refuge in your time of trouble #love #grace #faith In ancient times, if someone was killed, the family could go after and seek justice on the person who was at fault. Yet, if this was an accident (which probably happened often in ancient times), that person at fault could escape to a City of Refuge. There, we could find safety and sanctuary until they received a trial. In the Old Testament, then this idea of refuge was very important. It meant that no matter what happened in your life, you had hope. Our One Verse for today says that God is our refuge. See, He isn’t waiting to strike you down for every mistake. He is your source of hope, grace, and a future. Psalm 46:1 says he is our refuge and help in times of trouble. I think about being outside camping or hiking during a storm. You quickly look for an overhang in the cliff to hide under for safety. That is God in our lives. Refuge when things have gone wrong. Safety during the storms of life. Whate
