Psalm 71:3 – When You Always Resort To God As Your Refuge

This Week’s Theme: God Is Our Refuge – by Ken Turner, July 13, 2018

Psalm 71:3

Be my strong refuge, To which I may resort continually; You have given the commandment to save me, For You are my rock and my fortress.

Thought for today…

People are creatures of habit. We make choices, and those choices become habits in our life. Think of the statement, “He always resorts to ___________.”

If someone made the above statement about you, what would they put in the blank? “You always resort to_____________________.”

Anger, blaming others, complaining, excuses, drugs, alcohol, sexual sin, quitting, running away from a problem, etc.

What if you changed and people could say, “You always resort to God as your refuge and strength.”
