I
am a refugee...
Crazy right? That's what most of
you are thinking... off his rocker this time for sure… but before you write me off read the whole of the post and ask God to speak to your heart as He has done mine as I wrote these words...
I am a refugee...
In fact we are all caught up in a war not of this world over this world... God and Satan have been tossing blows since the days of Adam and Eve …really Satan has been tossing something but it but it’s more like cookies than blows… God came in with His right(eous) cross dealing the knockout punch a long time ago... Satan just hasn’t stopped thrashing about yet… but I digress

I am a refugee...
You see this is not my home.... it was once, in fact for many years it was my home but then a religious war tore my world a part... See I learned of this war that was raging all around me... I learned of a King who loved me, who sacrificed everything to set me free from my captivity… I learned how the master I had been serving was simply using me and would have eventually cast me aside when I was no longer useful... My world as I knew it was over…

Now that I have been adopted into my Lord's family I find I am in fact homeless on this earth... I have no-where to turn, no-where to hide, the enemy is seeking to destroy me at every turn... I am a refugee... The things that brought me joy in the past now simply bring pain... (1 Peter 2:11)

But the Lord is my refuge... (Psalm 94:22a)
But the Lord is my refuge... (Psalm 94:22a)
I am a refugee...
With the Lord as my refuge; there is nothing else I need… He brings me the rest I
need… He renews my strength daily… Why? For His glory! When it seems like there
is no more hope I have a perfect peace because He is with me… When I wander,
when I stray His loving hand brings me back… His rod and staff while painful
are comforting because He loves me… I am so blessed because of my obedience… I
don’t want to ever return to my old ways because of His goodness… (Psalms23:1-6)
I am a refugee...
With the Lord as my refuge, with the Lord as my helper; I will not be afraid... Why? Because if the God who hung the stars in the sky is walking by my side... What can man do to me? (Genesis 1:14; Hebrews 13:6)
But wait I am not alone on this earth...
We are refugees...
We are all foreigners... temporary residents of this earth... Let's not forget our roots as those who have no hope! (1 Chronicles 29:15)
