God is our Shelter

Trouble? Finding Shelter, A Very Present Help

The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble.  Those who know your name will trust in you, for you, Lord, have never forsaken those who seek you. (Psalm 9:9,10 NIV) After reading this verse, a weight can be lifted off your shoulders. I personally felt like a balloon would be losing its air, slowly releasing all the pressure.  The Lord is our refuge.  A refuge, is a shelter protecting us from danger.  He is our shelter when a situation causes oppression, when strongholds attempt and sometimes consume us.  Oppression is not a soft term.

Unexpected Light, Overwhelming Darkness

stars counted- many or few?

What is Satan trying to keep you or someone you know bound in?  Satan likes to play harsh.  He spins a large sticky web to catch all the victims he can. Many times we are blinded walking into the web.  A trap designed by Satan.  One step in and we could be stuck, wrapped in darkness.  Have you ever seen an insect caught in a spider’s web? The sole purpose of the insect is to be devoured by the spider.  Satan wants to devour as many as he can.  This web is going to be like glue, very hard to move. The enemy is speaking […]
