The LORD is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble. Psalms 9:9
When I struggle with a world that disappoints, or simply can’t make since of heartache, I go to the Psalms. Psalms 9 is beautiful. I encourage you to read all of it and read others often.
A refuge is a safe place that provides needed resources to survive and thrive. Oppression is forced misery. A stronghold is a refuge with protection. Do I really need to define trouble?
The LORD is our protected safe place. He is THE place we become healthy and remain so. When oppression and trouble dog our heals, there is only one place to run, and He is waiting with open arms!
