My Daily Musings-August 14th, 2026

I really liked these two verses I came across recently.

Psalm 9:9-10:
9. The Lord also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble.
10. And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, Lord hast not forsaken them that seek thee.

I think why these verses resonated with me so much is because Jesus has been in the past and still is today, my refuge in times of trouble. I have always been a believer and follower of Jesus Christ. I’m definitely not perfect and I have days when I doubt, days when I feel alone, and days when I feel like no one understands what I am going through. I think we all do. But just knowing that Jesus is there for me any time I seek Him is a big comfort for me.

I will put my trust in Jesus forever because I know that He will never forsake me. I might distance myself from Him occasionally when I think I can do things myself and I think I don’t need help. But when I seek Him, He is there for me at a moment’s notice. That is where my hope lies, in Jesus being my refuge, especially during my hard times.

When have you felt Jesus Christ become your refuge during a difficult time in your life? What helps you turn to Jesus and seek Him when you are feeling alone or discouraged?
