"I have taken refuge in the Lord. How can you say to me, "Escape to the mountain like a bird! For look, the wicked string the bow; they put the arrow on the bowstring to shoot from the shadows at the upright in heart. When the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?" The Lord is in His holy temple; the Lord's throne is in heaven. His eyes watch; He examines everyone. The Lord examines the righteous and the wicked. He hates the lover of violence. He will rain burning coals and sulfur on the wicked. a scorching wind will be their portion. For the Lord is righteous; He loves righteous deeds. The upright will see His face.
There are so many things to be scared of in this world. It has sped its way down an entirely corrupt path and it shows no sure sign of ever turning around. And we have two choices. . .run or fight behind God. We can't forget about God's power. . .Is God more powerful than those wicked aiming arrows at the upright? Is God more powerful than the things that aims its arrow at our own face, threatening to put us at death's door? The obvious and ONLY answer is YES!! YES HE IS! We can take refuge in God and throw our worries away. He is the ultimate protector of all!
At Passion we are fighting for a cause against human trafficking. The stuff we have learned about this global issue is phenomenal, disturbing, and horrible and really blows me away. And we are committing to fighting against traffickers and for the 27 million slaves in the world today. We take refuge in God and allow him to destroy the wicked. If God says he is going to do something. . .He is going to do it. He has proven that since the beginning of time. And those who choose to stand and fight with God and profess His name and love other people the way God loves, then we will be choosing eternity with God. And I feel like putting ourselves into dark and dangerous places and taking risks as big as some of these is so worth it!
