Refuge in the One Who Knows and Cares - August 11

Good morning, Lord Jesus. You are my Rock and Refuge. I stand firm in Your strength this day. ...

"O Lord, You have searched me and have known me. You know when I sit down and when I rise up; You discern my thoughts from far away" (Psalm 139:1-2).

Whether I'm down or whether I'm up, You see me and know me. You know my struggles and my joys, the heights of my faith and the depths of my fears. But You don't see me merely to observe me; You see me to reach out to me and reach into me to journey with me through the highs and lows, the ins and outs, and all the twists and turns along the way. And You lead me to find my refuge in the One Who knows and cares.

These seem to be days of much uncertainty. Even the economies of nations and the stability of kingdoms seem to rise and fall with the tide of the sea. But You are the One Who steps into the uncertainties of these days and the uncertainties of my soul. You remind me that You are faithful and You infuse me with Your strength. "Therefore we will not fear, though the earth should change, though the mountains shake in the heart of the sea; though its waters roar and foam, though the mountains tremble with its tumult... The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge" (Psalm 46:2-7). In Jesus' name I pray, Amen.

Be encouraged today! In the Love of Jesus, Tommy Hays
