Our refuge!

"The Lord is my rock, and my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge. He is my shield, and the horn of my salvation�my stronghold." Psalm 18:2





On every side are hosts of enemies ever invading our souls�

trampling down every good thing in our hearts�accompanied by a flying troop of temptations, doubts, fears, guilt and bondage sweeping over our soul. And we, as regards our own strength, are helpless against them. But there is a refuge set before us in the gospel of the grace of God. The Lord Jesus Christ, as King in Zion, is there held up before our eyes�as the Rock of our refuge�our strong Tower�our impregnable Fortress�and we are encouraged by every precious promise and every gospel invitation when we are overrun and distressed by these wandering, ravaging, plundering tribes�to flee unto and find a safe refuge in Him. Keep me safe, O God, for in You I take refuge. O Lord my God, I take refuge in You�save and deliver me from all who pursue me.





J. C. PHILPOT
