Daily Devotions

We, as humans, are tied to time and space, they are all we know. We do not have a sense of the eternal. This earthly planet where we make our home is our point of reference in this vast universe. If it is stable, we feel secure. If it trembles and quakes, then we do as well. But God is our refuge and strength and He isn’t tied to this earth. In fact, He is not tied to anything. The entire earth could be removed, and the mountains could be carried into the midst of the sea; the waters could roar and be troubled, and the mountains could swell and shake, and God, our God, would still be our refuge.
Psalm 46:2 reads: “Therefore we will not fear even though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea.”
The comfort for us in this is that nothing can happen to us in the time-and-space existence we live in that can impact God. He is, and will always be, a refuge for us. When things change around us, God doesn’t change. “He is the same yesterday, today, and for ever,” we are told in Hebrews 13:8.
When things are in an uproar around us, He is not. When things of the earth are in a frightful state, He is at peace.
Therefore God is always a timeless refuge where we can seek shelter and safety.
Do you find yourself is a troublesome situation? If so, seek God who is your shelter in a time of storm.
