God our shield and refuge!

 Psalm 119:114

You are my refuge and my shield; I have put my hope in your word.

A refuge is a place of safety against danger or difficulty. Therefore, this verse, tells us that the Lord is our place of safety, a place where we run to, from danger or difficulty. It further says He is our shield, our covering. This gives us a "go to" place, when trouble comes. We already know that with life, it is not a matter of IF trouble comes, but WHEN trouble comes. We were never promised a smooth life, that has no trouble, but God promised to be there with us in that trouble. We can depend on Him to shield and protect us in difficulty. He has the ability to intervene in our situations and bring victory for us.

This is why we can put our hope in Him, because we know He is never changing, He is the same today, tomorrow and forever more. We can be sure that what He said He would do, indeed He will fulfill. Psalm 121 reminds us where our help comes from, from the Lord Himself. He will never leave us nor forsake us. In Him we have victory. 

The trouble you may be facing, is no match for our God. Be encouraged that He is still on the throne and He is still in control!
