SHOUT BOX!

Tuesday, April 22, 2008



The other day I had dinner with a few close friends and while walking back to the car, (their car, not mine), I saw this sign that really amused me. It said, Area of Refuge. And I was like huh? What a name, and why would they call this particular place in the carpark the place of refuge?

Ok, honestly, I have no idea, so if you do know, please tag on the tagboard to tell me. Hahaha..

But it reminded me so much of my own place of refuge. The word refuge to me is like a place where I can just run away to hide from whatever is pursuing me. Maybe its work, maybe its like people, maybe its like all these expectations, maybe its like family, maybe its like… the list goes on and on, but in this place of refuge, I can head in and just be myself. I don't have to pretend to be someone else I'm not. I can leave all the troubles outside, and for that moment, in my refuge, I will find strength. I will find peace. I will find that though its crazy out there, I'll be fine.

Psalm 46:1
God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.

Perhaps right now, you feel that you're letting go of God, but may I encourage you, to run back to this refuge. May I encourage you to hold onto the Hope giver. May I encourage you to continually run back to this refuge, and that is God. His arms are ever ready to catch you and ever ready to hold you and strengthen you. And don't under estimate the power of this refuge either.

so in the midst of your exams, hang in there guys. and know that your leaders are praying with you!!!!
