Refuge in God

The Bible promises, “God is our refuge and our strength.” A refuge is defined as any place inaccessible to an enemy; shelter or protection from danger. Our refuge is in God, in Truth. That is where we are protected and embraced.

I was thinking about refuge and refugees, along with those displaced by extremes of weather. A refugee is someone seeking shelter from danger, and that can be reliably found only in God. God is our refuge, my refuge, He’s everyone’s refuge and strength, and therefore no one can be without all that they need, when they need it. Mrs. Eddy says, “Divine Love always has met and always will meet every human need.” God, in His great love, supplies every needful thing, in very practical ways.

This is something we need to work with daily. If we know that truth for everyone, everywhere, those who are receptive will find their right place, wherever that place might be. With God there are always infinite resources, and all needs will be met. Mrs. Eddy says, “Soul has infinite resources with which to bless mankind, and happiness would be more readily attained and would be more secure in our keeping if sought in Soul.” (S&H p. 60) It’s not based on governments, because governments will fail, governments have limited supply. It has to be based on God, only His supply is infinite.

Praying with these truths, you come under a law, not the human law of lack, disturbance, and hate, but under the divine law of abundance, peace, and love, where every need is abundantly met.
