God Our Refuge

Published on August 22, 2020


Refuge is a favorite word of David’s. You will count as many as forty-plus appearances in some versions of the Bible. But never did David use the word more poignantly than in Psalm 57. The introduction to the passage explains its background…“A song of David when he fled from Saul into the cave.” Lost in shadows and thought, he has nowhere to turn. To go home, he endangers his family. To go to the tabernacle, he imperils the priests. Saul will kill him. Here he sits, all alone. But then he remembers he is not. And from the recesses of the cave a sweet voice floats:

Be merciful to me, O God! For my soul trusts in You; and in the shadow of Your wings I make my refuge.” Psalm 57:1

Make God your refuge. Let Him be the foundation on which you stand!
