RECEIVE PEACE BY TAKING REFUGE IN GOD
Bible in a Year: Isaiah 24, Isaiah 25, Isaiah 26; 2 Corinthians 11:16-33; Psalm 106:32-39
“You will keep in perfect peace all who trust in you, all whose thoughts are fixed on you!”
Isaiah 26:3 NLT
Human beings naturally look for refuge when navigating life circumstances. Some rely on wealth and money, some depend on their positions, wisdom, and strength, while others run to people for refuge. David said in Psalm 118:8-9, “It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in people. It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in princes.” It is necessary to reflect on our way and work to ensure our refuge is the right one. If we count on the wrong refuge, there is much to lose. The Book of Isaiah said that those of us who rely on God and fix our thoughts on Him will receive perfect peace. There is only One who gives perfect peace and it is God.
In 2018, I faced a very hard time. I had back pain that was hard to bear. I could hardly walk. After two or three minutes of walking, I had to stop because it was so painful. I went to see many doctors, but there was no relief. After long suffering, I felt debilitated and discouraged. I thought to myself, “Why would God let me suffer when I am serving Him?” Later, I repented from having this thought and prayed to God, “Father God, I thank You for giving me the privilege of serving You. This physical illness is painful. Please give me strength, peace, and calmness to face this trial.” After praying this prayer, I felt that the disturbing and unhelpful thoughts left me. Today, I am healed by God’s grace and I am serving God with full strength.
Reflection
Where is the usual place you seek to take refuge in to find peace? Let us make sure we have a secure refuge, the Almighty God, who can give us perfect peace.
Prayer
Father God, thank you for your love and blessings. Teach us to rely on you, love you, and follow Your will. In Jesus’ Name I pray. Amen.
