Our Refuge
“In God is my salvation…and my refuge”
(Psalm 62:7).
There is an old saying in the world, “Every form of refuge has its price.”
This is certainly true of our refuge in Christ. The great price paid was for God to give His Son, and for the Son to give His life and shed His blood at Calvary’s cross. Now that the price has been fully paid, this refuge from coming judgment is offered freely to all who will avail themselves of it. “He that spared not His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things” (Romans 8:32).
But more than just refuge from coming judgment, we have One who is our refuge for this life, as we pass through a wicked world where our enemy Satan is lurking. “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble” (Psalm 46:1).
Refuge in Christ is free to us, but it came at great cost to Him! Have you availed yourself of this refuge? If you have, you can say, “He is my Shield, and the Horn of my salvation, my High Tower, and my Refuge, my Savior” (2 Samuel 22:3).
