Refuge in God!

In a relatively short time frame we have heard of many people in troubled situations. The loss of loved ones, car wrecks, frozen water pipes, loss of employment, tax problems, broken relationships, serious medical conditions, etc. In each situation it has been best to exhort the Christians involved to seek and trust the Lord. For those who don't know the Lord, there is not much in the way of help to be offered. If possible, sharing Christ with them is the perfect thing, for if they accept Christ as Savior and Lord, we know that they will then have hope and help.
In Psalm 9: 9-10 it says, "The Lord also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble. And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, Lord, hast not forsaken them that seek thee."
Are we in a difficult situation? If so, then let's take God's word to heart and apply it to our lives by doing what it exhorts us to do. The Psalmist David said, "when my heart is overwhelmed, lead me to the rock." May we also pray for God to lead us to the rock!
