Day 34 - Saturday

March 27

Whom have I in heaven but you?

    And there is nothing on earth that I desire other than you.

My flesh and my heart may fail,

    but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.

Indeed, those who are far from you will perish;

    you put an end to those who are false to you.

But for me it is good to be near God;

    I have made the Lord God my refuge,

    to tell of all your works.  Psalm 73:25-28

In the midst of challenges, trials, and the storms of life, God is our refuge. We are promised that even when everything around us is lost and even our own strength fails, our relationship with God will last forever. This is more than a great insurance plan; the Lord who promises us eternity also promises to be with us throughout our life on this earth, and in fact, eternal life is described in scripture as knowing God. God invites us right now to come near to him and to make him our refuge for all time. 

To Do

Take time today to rest in the refuge of God. Ask for God's protection in the storms you are facing now, and release your worries into God's hands.
