Verse of the Day

A verse from an earlier day, with its reflection and prayer.

A refuge for the oppressed

“The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble. And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, LORD, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.”

Today's insight

When life weighs heavily upon you, God promises to be "a refuge for the oppressed" and a secure shelter "in times of trouble." Those who truly know His character find the courage to place their full confidence in Him. You are never abandoned, for the Lord has never once turned away from those who genuinely seek Him.

Reflect

In what specific area of trouble today are you invited to stop relying on your own strength and run to the Lord as your refuge?

Prayer

Lord, when burdens press down on me, remind my heart that You are my safe refuge. Help me to know Your name more deeply and put my trust entirely in You. Thank You that as I seek Your face today, You will never forsake me.
