Counting Blessings: Finding Refuge in God’s Promises

In the midst of worries and challenges, Psalm 91:9-10 reminds us to make God our refuge. Despite turmoil, God's promises offer protection and peace. This assurance extends to every aspect of our lives, from personal struggles to global crises. By dwelling in God, we can find safety and comfort. This promise is especially significant in times of calamity and uncertainty, highlighting the importance of a personal relationship with God. Embracing God's protection requires abiding by His principles and actively contributing to solutions rather than being part of the problem. Trust in God's provision and rest in His care, knowing that He watches over us.
