The Lord is good, a stronghold in a day of distress; He cares for those who take refuge in Him.
Dear Ones: Take Refuge in Him! He is our stronghold, our strong tower, to run into during stressful times. He is GOOD! Do not doubt His goodness! Those types of thought bombs are strictly from the dark one and his minions.
Fear and doubt travel together. They are like tag-team wrestlers. One jumps on you to get you to the ground, then the other one comes to stomp on you some more. BUT you have been given mighty spiritual weapons to destroy these attacks. However, the best strategy is to recognize them quickly, so you are not fighting them from the mat but from a standing position. Ephesians 6:13, NKJV, tells us to stand, keep on our feet in the fight. “Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.”
The standing that you do is to take refuge in Him believing that the Christ in you is more powerful than the enemy’s attack. First John 4:4, NKJV, confirms this truth. “You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.” He desires you believe that He wants to care for you, your family, and your nation’s needs. Trust Him.
Make your declaration today: “I take refuge in Him standing against this evil attack on my mind and my body. No weapon formed against me shall prosper. The Christ in me is greater than those who oppose me. I am an overcomer. My God cares for my every need.” I bless you in Jesus’ name.
