O my people, trust in God at all times.
Pour out your heart to Him,
for God is our refuge.
Pour out your heart to Him,
for God is our refuge.
Psalm 62:8
For some, the word "refuge" sounds like a good place to stay forever and keep safe. However, to stay behind cloistered walls can be detrimental to our spiritual growth because we have no experiences which force us to grow. Without experiences, how can we possibly reach out to help others who are seeking and struggling?
A "refuge" is, in a reality: "being safe or sheltered from pursuit, danger, or trouble." This makes more sense when we look at today's verse. When we trust God at all times and pour out our heart to Him, he becomes our safe place from pursuit, danger or trouble. We don't have to seek a place with walls that none can penetrate, we have God protecting us AS WE ARE GOING! God doesn't protect us FROM our journey, God protects us DURING our journey! What better refuge can there be?
