A Fortress of Faith

Psalm 94:21-22

"They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous,

and condemn the innocent blood. But the LORD is my defense; 

and my God is the rock of my refuge."

    In Psalm 94, the psalmist described a situation that didn’t look good: "They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous,and condemn the innocent blood." The situation appeared hopeless. Even as an angry and evil mob converged against defenseless innocents, the psalm writer vowed, "But the LORD is my defense, and my God is the rock of my refuge."  Even when the situations in our life appear hopeless and we can’t see a way for them to work out, the psalmist encourages us to have faith anyway.

    It’s one thing to have faith when everything is going well in our lives. Sure, things can change on a dime, but who stays up at night worrying about putting food on the table, when they have a stable job? It’s another thing to have faith in God when there is no money in the bank and no bread on the table. 

    This psalm reminds us that in even the most hopeless of situations, we are not allowed to lose our faith in God. In fact, it is our very faith that has the power to turn around the worst situation and to bring about the greatest miracles.

    Let our faith be our fortress. When life rains down all kinds of problems on us, when it thunders and pours, let us take refuge in our faith. We don’t need to know how God will take care of us; we only need to believe that He can and will!! 

Amen!
