My victory and honor come from God alone. He is my refuge, a rock where no enemy can reach me. – Psalm 62:7 (NLT)
A SAFE REFUGE
A poem and essay by ILMA
Are you feeling beaten with life’s challenges?
Are you able to endure the many changes?
There is a safe refuge that you can run to
God is a rock where no enemy can go through.
Your victory and honor come only from God alone
Repent and confess and he will forgive all wrongs
Take shelter in his great love and mercy
He faithfully comforts those who are weary.

We live in a world full of noise and distractions. It stops us from really spending quality time with our loved ones and especially with God. Whenever we get overwhelmed by all the roles and responsibilities that we face in life, it opens the door for the enemy to tempt us. If we allow such open doors, we expose ourselves to vulnerability to sin.
The bible tells us that the only way we can have victory and honor is from God alone. He is our refuge and our rock, where no enemy can reach. In other words, if we do not rely on God for everything, we will never have triumph over the tactics of the enemy.
PRAYER
Lord, thank you for being my rock and refuge.
REFLECTION
Why should we always focus on God instead of the world?
