39But the salvation of the righteous is from the Lord;
Psalm 37:39-40 (NKJV)
He is their strength in the time of trouble.
40And the Lord shall help them and deliver them;
He shall deliver them from the wicked,
And save them,
Because they trust in Him.
In this verse, David recounts how God’s strength was his refuge. During times of trouble, while his enemies were after him trying to kill him, the Lord protected and rescued David.
Verse 39 states that the Lord offers salvation to the righteous. He is our strength during times of trouble; He will deliver us and save us. Salvation is from the Lord. He helps us bear burdens, takes our worries, and gives us peace. Our job is to love and trust the Lord following His path for us. God saves those who trust in Him. β
God is our refuge and strength, always ready to help in times of trouble.
Psalm 46:1 (NLT)
When times are overwhelming, where do you put your trust? Do you rely on your wits or God’s strength?
Prayer; Our Heavenly Father, we thank You for being our refuge and protection. Teach us to turn to you during troubled times; you are our strength. Help us to embrace Your wisdom and follow Your path. Like the rhododendron branches support the flowers, lifting them toward sunlight, let us lean on Your strength and spread Your Son-light. In Jesus’ holy and loving name. Amen

His is indeed my strength and my refuge. I like that you pointed out our part of trusting and loving God. We can make the mistake of seeing Godβs promise in scripture but forget that he asks us to
Place our trust in Him and be obedient to Him.
Blessings to you Jeanne π
