Yes I will sing aloud of Your mercy in the morning;
For You have been my defense
and refuge in the day of my trouble.
To You, O my Strength, I will sing praises;
For God is my defense,
My God of mercy. Psalm 59:16-17
Refuse or Refuge ?
This is my question today. Do I come daily into
Your word with anticipation of all You have to say
to me this morning or do I skip Bible time, watch
the tv news or read the paper ? Do I refuse wisdom
by avoiding my closed Bible, or do I find refuge opening
it's pages and entering into quiet time with the King of Kings ?
Refuse or Refuge ? I sense Him asking this of all of us daily !
Can we hear Him inviting us into His word ? If not, who
are we listening to ? We're always hearing, aren't we ?
Some of us are always learning, and never coming to
knowledge of the truth aren't we ? Learning without knowing
is a problem many don't even suspect they have ! Yet it is
common to us all as Timothy warns describing the apostasy
that is to come upon us - For of this sort are those who creep
into households and make captives of gullible women loaded
down with sins, led away by various lusts, always LEARNING
and never ABLE to come to the KNOWLEDGE of the TRUTH.
2Timothy 3:6-7
I wonder who the creeps are ? The internet, a tv guru ? Home
shopping networks ? Hmmmm ? We chose to REFUSE
Him or find REFUGE in Him. Helps us chose wisely now
and always - and may we be found faithful when You return ?
