The Lord Is ‘Our Refuge And Strength, A Very Present Help In Trouble.’

1 Chronicles 6:61-7:40
Is there no end of names? - The more names we read, the more we wonder at the amazing scope of God’s love: ‘God so loved the world...’(John 3:16). We read of ‘the cities of refuge’(67-70). We take refuge in the Lord. He is ‘our Refuge and Strength, a very present help in trouble’(Psalm 46:1). We have Christ as our Saviour: ‘Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need’(Hebrews 4:16). When ‘evil’ threatens to overwhelm us (23), we must come to God with this confidence: ‘the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin’. We must ask God to strengthen our faith in Christ: ‘This is the victory that overcomes the world. Who is it that overcomes the world but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?’(1 John 1:7; 4:4-5).
