Safe Place



 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. 

— Psalm 46:1


Last week I was meditating on Psalm 46 during my personal devotion time. I was especially focused on the word refuge. This word appears at least 40 times in the book of Psalms in reference to God. It literally means safe place. In ancient Israel, there were specific cities of refuge that fugitives could flee to that would provide protection, until that fugitive could have a fair judgment.

This is my own Prayer that focuses on God as my refuge.

My Savior,
I am overwhelmed by life itself. Lost in my own sins, regrets, cares of this world, and fears. Some days, my faith is at its strongest, the anchor that keeps me grounded. Other times, it’s like a sinking ship, and I’m struggling not to drown.

Lord Jesus, You are my Refuge, my Safe Place. You are the Only Place I can run to when burdened and worn out. You are the Shelter from this evil world. 

Help me to abide in You, Precious Savior. To dwell in You and keep my eyes on You. You are my City of Refuge when I’m in need of mercy. You are Shelter from the storms of life. Christ, You are my Sanctuary. Please constantly remind me of this truth. You are my Home! 

Amen.

Holy Wednesday

        Scripture Reference: Luke 22:1-6 Summary: As the Passover Feast approaches, the chief priests and scribes begin conspiring to kill Jesus. They discover they have an ally, Judas Iscariot, who agrees to betray Jesus for a price.                        Prayer Holy Savior, Many times we criticize Judas for betraying You. But how often have we betrayed Your Holy Majesty through our sins? Through our irreverence and sacrilege?  Lord, forgive us! Make us clean! Remove idolatry from our hearts and Give us hearts with total and committed loyalty to You. Let us not be entangled with the things of this world, the lust of the eyes and the pride of life. Renew a right spirit within us and help us to abide in You. Amen

Holy Week Update

  Hello Everyone! Holy Week starts tomorrow and I just wanted to give you some updates. I am still planning on working on the Daniel devotions. I haven’t forgotten about them. I’ve been busy with work, church and just being exhausted.  As for Holy Week, I decided to do something different. Instead of writing my insights on Holy Week Scriptures (like I did last year), I decided to write prayers for each day. The Bible command us to pray without ceasing (1 Thessalonians 5:17). Also, it is impossible to have a devotional life without prayer. I will post the Sculpture references and encourage reading them as well as praying. Also feel free to look back at the Holy Week devotionals from last year.  May God bless you as you pursue Him!
