My God, Thank You For Being My Refuge
April 29 Scripture Meditations Based on Psalms 9-12
Key Verse – Psalm 9:9 The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble.
MY GOD, THANK YOU FOR BEING MY REFUGE
Thank You for being my refuge against oppression
Surely my hiding place from sin-inquisition…
You consider me along my trouble and vexation
Therefore, I trust in You and Your assured salvation.
Thank You for being my refuge against wickedness
Surely my holy shield from filthiness…
You pardon me of my confessed sinfulness and worldliness
Therefore, I seek You and Your cleansing forgiveness.
Thank You for being my refuge against backsliding
Surely my prevailing armor from offending…
You guard me as well as my mind-choosing and faith-deciding
Therefore, I rely in You and Your wise guiding.
Thank You for being my refuge against arrogance
Surely my humbling master from pride’s attendance…
You vanquish me of my vanity and extravagance
Therefore, I delight in You and Your humbling guidance.
Thank You for being my refuge against discontentment
Surely my sufficing grace from covetousness’ entrapment…
You provide for me along my body fitness and spirit-requirement
Therefore, I need You and Your satisfying fulfillment.
Thank You for being my refuge against temptation-snares
Surely my protective defender from deceit’s dares…
You anchor upon my dedication-zeal and service-shares
Therefore, I cling to You and Your loving cares.
