Lessons from a Cave - Finding Refugee

Be merciful to me, O God, be merciful to me, for in you my soul takes refuge; in the shadow of your wings I will take refuge, till the storms of destruction pass by.  Psalm 57:1

We don’t seek refuge until we need it.  We can’t identify and describe a place of refuge until we spend time there.  We don’t know the value of a refuge until we experience it first hand. David’s words are powerful and relevant because they are based on real-life experience.  David’s image describes young birds taking refuge under their mother’s wings because they have complete trust in their mother’s ability to protect them. 

How long do they stay there?  Till the danger passes.
How long does David take refuge?  Till the storms of destruction pass by.  

David coped by entrusting his soul to God’s protection. Let us thank God today for the refuge of His wings and for the opportunity to increase our faith in Him.  How do you allow your soul to take refuge in God?  Share your answers in the comments or with others.
