The Lord also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble.
Felt depressed lately? I’m sure we all have had days when we’re “down”. But sometimes those days just won’t seem to go away. Troubles hit us every day and we don’t know what to do. There are deadlines at school, there are pressures at work, the money you thought was in the bank just wasn’t there after all, your boyfriend stood you up . . . again, the boss was mad at you because you messed up (at least, he thought so), your parents griped at you because your room looked like a war zone . . . and on and on and on. What can you do? Turn to the Lord. He’s there waiting to help and encourage you. When King David’s men turned against him he found his comfort in the Lord. We can do the same. He really cares about how we feel.
