We Grow: A Journey of Drawing Closer to GodNäide

Day 143 of 365
In Psalm 9, David praises God as a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble. His words reveal a deep trust in God’s character and protection. The Holy Spirit calls us to this same trust, inviting us to run to God as our fortress and to find safety under His wings. No matter what comes against us, we have a secure refuge in God, a place where fear loses its grip.
In John 8, Jesus confronts the accusers of the woman caught in adultery, revealing that God’s justice is full of mercy. The Spirit teaches us that God’s protection is not only physical but also spiritual and emotional. He shields us from shame, fear, and condemnation, offering forgiveness and restoration instead.
Today, let the Holy Spirit remind you of God’s love as your protector. Whatever challenges you face, take refuge in Him. Bring your fears and burdens to His stronghold, and allow His presence to guard you. In His safety, find the peace and confidence to face life’s trials with renewed courage and trust.
