Moments for Mums: Refuge - Part 1Примерок

A strong tower was a familiar defence for David. It gave solid, all-round, protection and security. The tower protected him from both the weapons and approach of his enemies.

We may feel helpless against challenges that confront us and our family. Sometimes our best course is to lock ourselves away from people who drain our energy with opposition. Hand your battles to God. Stop fighting back. Find rest and renewal in God’s strength.

A tent seems like a fragile dwelling to appear in the same breath as the strong tower. But this was not just any tent. This tent was the Lord’s tabernacle, where God was present with His people.

This is a good reminder to spend time with God. It could be through Bible study, prayer, church or serving others. Worshipping God gives us a sense of what is truly important. This will help to refocus and renew us.

Question
When you spend time with God, do you come with an open heart and teachable mind?

Prayer
Dear God, please give me strong protection when I am weak; and a heart to serve when I am renewed. Amen.
