Refuge

                                          Psalm 19

Written by Terry Butler

Verse

May the words of my mouth

And the meditations of my heart

Be pleasing to You pleasing to You

May the words of my mouth

And the meditations of my heart

Be pleasing to You my God

Chorus

You're my Rock and my Redeemer

You're the reason that I sing

I desire to be a blessing in Your eyes

Ev'ry hour ev'ry moment

Lord I want to be Your servant

I desire to be a blessing

In Your eyes in Your eyes

Ending

                           May the words of my mouth

                         And the meditations of my heart

                            Be pleasing to You my God

The words in this song are deep. We all desire peace. We all desire safety.

There is no one or any place other than God where we can find peace and safety. People, places, money, and food can't truly bring us peace and safety; but God can! Oh, we may think we need a certain thing or person or a situation should be handled this way, but is that God's plan?

When we give our plans, life, and heart to God's way and stop trying to go our way things go a lot smoother! Problems get handled quickly and messes in life do not bother us. We may sway from side to side almost losing our footing in huge storms, but when we remember the Rock we are standing on and that we are tucked in the shadow of His wing, we stand tall and face what is coming head on!

If you are going through a struggle I pray that you cast your cares upon the Lord. We were not made to walk alone or carry the burdens of life. We were made to abide and seek refuge in God in the storm and when the sun is shining.

Soak up the Son today, beloved, and find your rest!

6 do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. 7 And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:6
