One of the great struggles that we have today is who can we trust to give us good guidance or direction. The other day, I went to a very large store looking for a specific item. I couldn’t find the item so I asked an employee did they know where the item was. She told us it was in aisle 3. However, even though she was an employee, she gave me incorrect info. I asked two more employees and finally found the item I was looking for. This happens in every area, whether you need your car repaired, a doctor that can correctly diagnose your issue, what kind of school should you go to, etc. Fortunately for us who trust in Christ, God can be trusted to give us the perfect wisdom and guidance that we need! Isaiah 48:17 (AMP) says: “This is what the Lord, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel says, “I am the Lord your God, who teaches you to profit (benefit), Who leads you in the way that you should go”. So, instead of asking everybody for help except our Heavenly Father, it’s time to turn this equation around. Go to God first and ask Him for wisdom and guidance every morning. He will teach you to prosper in your way, and will lead you in righteous paths. He will never leave you nor forsake you, so daily walk with God because He will direct your paths!
Psalm 91:2 says: “I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress;
My God, in Him I will trust.” The word refuge means: “shelter or protection from danger or distress; something to which one has recourse in difficulty”. This means that God is a shelter where we can go and be protected from danger or distress. He is our rock where we can go to when we experience difficulties in life. He is also our fortress. A fortress is: “a castle or very well constructed stronghold where the enemy cannot access. It is a place of security or survival”. This means that God is our place of protection. In Him, we can be secure. He protects us from all the attacks of the enemy. Declare Psalm 91:2 every day over you and your family! He is our refuge and fortress, and we can trust Him!
