In a Place called REFUGE!

"Here I am to worship" is the song that is ringing in my spirit today.

On yesterday I know the hand of God was upon me and my family. As I sat here today the Holy Spirit began to speak to me about a place of refuge. On yesterday morning we were hit from behind by a Lexis SUV that was hit by a another SUV. The impact damaged the truck but we walk away with bruises and pain....BUT ALIVE!

As I was thinking about what happened, the Holy Spirit said "you're in a place of refuge." I had just read about this in the book by Bob Sorge Secrets of the Secret Place.

The book explains that Ps 91 says "He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty ". But then when you go down to vs 3 it talks about the being snared by the Fowler and being caught by perilous pestilence. Bob Sorge points out in his writings "The fact that God delivers us from those things does not negate the reality of the pain we experience when we are initially caught in their grip"

The Holy Spirit brought this reading back to me today as I reflected on yesterday. Sometimes the enemy will come in and attack you when you least expect him to. We were sitting at a stop light talking and speaking on the goodness of the Lord when BANG! bodies went forward... Mary crying... Mother hurting... Husband in shock with his glasses flying off his face and into his lap...TIME SEEMED TO STOP at that moment.

In our spiritual walk with the Father we may be on the way to our destiny and BANG! But when you are in that place of refuge under the Father's care what should have pushed you into death, moves you but you bounce back. There may be some pain from the impact but you are still alive and ready to keep moving on to what the Father has for you.

The enemy is out for keeps but our protection in found in the care of our Father. Our protection in found in our place of Refuge. Abide today under the shadow of the Almighty. Life may hit you hard but the Lord is with you and He is saying YES when the Enemy in saying no.

Our GOD IS GREATER! Thank you Daddy!
