Hephzibah.

Some men trust in horses,

Some men trust in wheels of war,

Some men trust in riches,

But I will trust in You my Lord

It is better to take refuge in You.

As I sang these lyrics in my living room on Thursday night I felt my soul nodding in agreement as I grasped the implications of these words. This week has been a battle, but I have chosen to fight with God as my strength and might. I have trusted in Him. It leaves such a sweet taste in my month knowing I have the victory with Him. As I trust in God I find the partnership I get to have and experience with Him to have no comparison. God created humanity to delight in His garden, to tend the plants. And so we push through, asking for His grace and mercy and strength, and we get to delight in Him as He delights in us. I get to partner with Jesus as I pray or intercede for what is pressing upon God’s heart and racing in His mind. I get to be a part of His wonderful, beautiful, worthy story. And so clinging to Him this week as my circumstances and situations proved to be shaky I look back with an even more grateful heart in knowing He was with me the whole time. Extending His loving kindness the whole way through.

It is better to take REFUGE in You.
