Our Tabernacle and Refuge

UV 3726/10000. Our Tabernacle and Refuge The eternal God is your refuge and dwelling place, and underneath are the everlasting arms; He drove out the enemy from before you, and said, “Destroy!” Deuteronomy 33 v 27 We as believers of Jesus have come to dwell in God and on God, the eternal One. He is our refuge, our shelter, our place of comfort. In normal times, He is our Tabernacle of joy and in times of crisis, difficulty and danger, He is our refuge, our hiding place, our shield. His arms are like wings under which we have come to rest. The two wings of prayer and the word sustain us and carry us through our lives and into eternity with God. The Lord goes ahead of us to destroy our common enemy. He is our weapon of mass destruction and of eternal life. He creates and sustains, He judges and saves His people, those who trust in His Name. He is the shield of our help, the sword that executes excellence in our lives. We will tread on the high places of the enemy and they will cringe before us. We dwell in safety and security because of our faith in the Lord. His mercy drops down on us like dew from heaven, softening our hearts like the early rain prepares the crop for ripening. He carries us into a land full of grain and new wine, new experiences to savour and relish. His word strengthens us from within and His answers to our prayers strengthen us from above. He is invincible, invisible and indestructible. His love is forever, eternal, unchanging and steadfast. His will is sovereign. His power is insurmountable and unstoppable. His grace is sufficient for us in all circumstances. It opens up a spring and fountain of joy deep within us that never dries up. The enemy has plans to harm us while the Lord has plans to help us, to give us hope, a future and after that eternity. Jesus is the word of eternal life who guarantees eternity for every one who believes Him. Hence, He said His purpose in coming to the earth is to give us life, eternal life and life in all its abundance. He has not withheld anything good from His own.
