This Week’s Theme: God Is Our Refuge – by Ken Turner, July 12, 2018
Psalm 62:8
Trust in Him at all times, you people; Pour out your heart before Him; God is a refuge for us.
Thought for today…
When you rely on God as your refuge, two things will become part of your relationship. First, you will trust Him at all times in all situations and second, you will pour out your heart to Him because He is your refuge.

Psalm 59:16
But I will sing of Your power; Yes, I will sing aloud of Your mercy in the morning; For You have been my defense And refuge in the day of my trouble.
Thought for today…
When you rely on God as your defense in times of trouble, He will put a song of joy in your heart. Your heart will turn from sadness to singing, and your perspective will shift from defeated to victorious.

Psalm 57:1
Be merciful to me for my soul trusts in You; And in the shadow of Your wings I will make my refuge until these calamities have passed by.
Thought for today…
Take refuge in the shadow of God’s wings until your current storm passes. We can’t control the storm, but we can control our response during the storm, and we can choose to seek Him as our refuge.
This Week’s Theme: Confession – by Ken Turner, July 6, 2018
Psalm 32:5
I acknowledged my sin to You and my iniquity I have not hidden. I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the LORD And You forgave the iniquity of my sin.
Thought for today…
People like “no hidden costs.” We like to know the “out the door price.” If you have damage that needs repair, you want a true estimate that’s not drastically higher or lower than the real cost. We need to treat sin the same. When you acknowledge your sin before God, be accurate. Don’t try to make things right with God by being dishonest about your true spiritual condition. The more you practice authenticity with God, the more authentic your relationship with Him will become.
