A Powerful and Sure Refuge
What and/or who is your powerful and sure refuge? You? Your job? Money? Someone else? All of the above will fail you at some point in time.
Is your refuge in… the Anointed One of God?
Is your refuge… the King of all kings?
Is your refuge… in the only begotten, risen Son of God?
Is your refuge… in the One who is to be reverenced and paid homage?
All the above are the same Person… His name is Jesus.

Upon Zion, My holy mountain.”
