—Psalm 118:1-9
by: Dorothy Noel.
Taking refuge in God is the only surefire safety. Only His lovingkindness has the power to sustain and fortify us. Only He can promise safety for eternity. This psalm emphasizes the greatness of God in contrast to the power of people. It is easy to look around at people with power and resources and see them as those who will be able to protect or destroy us. Yet this psalm reminds us that God is the arbiter of conflict and that only He controls the fates of men. Taking refuge within Him is the only place of true safety.
