A Place of Refuge?
Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who know the Lord is a stronghold in times of trouble. In Jesus’ name, amen.
The word stronghold is used in scripture two ways. One use of stronghold refers to “Satan’s grip.” In contrast, one psalmist uses stronghold to mean “a place of refuge.”
Psalm 9:9-10 (ESV) used the latter meaning:
“The Lord is a stronghold for the oppressed,
a stronghold in times of trouble.
And those who know your name put their trust in you,
for you, O Lord, have not forsaken those who seek you.”
There are those who trust in the Lord and those who do not. There those who seek God and those who do not. God is a stronghold for those who trust and those who seek him.
Trust. Seek. Find rest in The Lord.
