The word refuge in Hebrew means refuge, a shelter from rain or a storm and from danger or falsehood; it also has the same reference as to trust. In this post I will be sharing with you a truth that has been diluted or all together ignored. The truth is my friends that there is a storm coming our way and the only refuge is found in the Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Good works, religion or denying the whole subject will not save you from the storm, (judgment of God). This is not about a denomination or certain doctrine this is not even about trying to convince you to join or go to church; this is a truth that’s going to happen whether you believe it or not.
AS IT WAS, IT IS AND GOING TO BE:
Matthew 24:37 As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man.
So how was it during the days of Noah? The bible shows us in Genesis 6:5 that the heart of man was continually evil. Every thought of man was evil; they only cared about themselves. To them it didn’t matter what had to be done in order to get what they wanted; whether they had to kill, steal or rape to get it they were going to do it.
In essence they forsook the law of God Jeremiah 9:12-14 . So how is the law of God summarized? In one word LOVE Galatians 5:14. When you truly love God you will automatically love other people and will not want to harm them in any way.
God is a loving God that will never force anyone to love him. On the contrary he will give you over to what you want Romans 1:28. If God is a loving God why the storm then? As I mentioned God is a loving God that because of his perfect love will punish all evil. Just as we wouldn’t expect an honest judge in our courts to let go of criminals unpunished because he is a good judge on the contrary we expect because he is a good honest judge for him to deliver righteous judgment.
GOD WILL FULFILL HIS PROMISE:
So now what? Many people have deceived themselves into thinking that God is not going to punish anyone for their sin. Some have even convinced themselves into thinking that there is no God. The truth is that there is a day coming when all this will become evident to all. This storm is coming and God will fulfill his promise; his desire is that all will repent of their sin before this terrible day 2 Peter 3:3-9.
JESUS IS OUR REFUGE:
What must we do to be saved from this storm? The answer is we must confess Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior of our lives Acts 4:12 and live for him.
Refuge is found in no one else; in the day of trouble He will shelter you and deliver you Psalm 27:5. Trust in Him…
Proverbs 10:25 "When the tempest passes, the wicked is no more, but the righteous endures forever."
