I will say to the LORD, “My refuge and my fortress, My God, in whom I trust!” – Psalm 91:2
Holy God, you have given us eternal assurances, affirmations and promises that all believers in Christ, having received the indwelling Holy Spirit by our faith and belief that Christ is risen and is alive, are saved. Also, that he has, by his death, bought us, with the price of his Blood, freedom from slavery to sin and eternal Salvation, and we have now, by your grace, received the status of Jesus’ co-heirs and as your children, are able to claim a place in heaven.
However, only Jesus truly dwelt in the shelter of the Most High, and in the shadow of the Almighty, when he came to live on earth. Jesus was born as the perfect Son of Man, and in all things, he depended entirely on you, as his refuge and fortress and demonstrated to us all how a man should live, trusting our Heavenly Father in all things and surrendering our entire lives to you, for you to hold, in the palm of your Hand.
We, who are saved by your grace through faith, find our eternal refuge in Christ, Who took the blame for our iniquities and shielded us from the enemy, from all snares, shepherding us with love, into the light of purification. Being purged of our sin, we turn to you in trust, following your Holy Word. We believe that Your Divine Providence will be as a strong Fortress, an everlasting Refuge, and the Rock of our salvation, through Jesus our Lord. Amen
