“The righteous will rejoice in the Lord and take refuge in him; all the upright in heart will glory in him!”
Psalms 64:10 NIV
If God calls me righteous or blameless that’s only because of Jesus, not because of me for sure. But what caught my attention from this verse is God’s disposition to be a shelter, a refuge.
As I’ve said before I tend to “marry” my expectations and this isn’t more evident than when I take refuge in my financial gains projections. Instead of trusting God for the overall outcome, I sweat each 2-week as if it’s the end of the world and it messes with my emotions big time.
The reality is that God has always been faithful to me and my family. When we, a family of 7, had one income, took odd jobs to make ends meet, depended on people’s generosity while being missionaries, with Tracy working and me rolling coastering my photography business, in big credit card debt, God has been faithful through it all.
Let us be diligent without allowing the day-to-day eat up our peace of mind. God is our refuge.
