Psalm 31:1-2

Psalm 31:1-2 

  What do you think of as a refuge?  When I play golf, I always see thunderstorm shelters scattered around the course.  I'm grateful that they're present, but I always hope that I don't need to use one.  In a big enough storm, however, it'd be crucial to find one to be safe.
  What is a refuge for you?  Are you counting on money or family or prestige to deliver you in the midst of a storm?  They'll certainly be helpful, but for certain storms, there is no worldly resource that can deliver you.  For some of the storms we'll face in this world, we need something or someone from outside of this world to deliver us.
  Fortunately, Christianity tells us that God does come from outside of this world to deliver us.  We are saved by something bigger than our problems.  God is the only refuge that can endure to the end, so let us ensure that God is our fortress.
