the righteous man

'The righteous man will be glad in the LORD and will take refuge in Him'
(Psalm 64:10)

As we proceed through these times of angst and concern for the future, where the stress and pain of a poor economic environment has gripped many, where the liberties and freedoms that we have taken for granted for so long are slowly being eroded away - we still serve a living, loving and all-knowing Lord.
We live in the temporal and the events of the temporal directly affect the daily grind that we call life. The struggles of the life in the flesh, though they be many and often difficult, are still but for a moment in the light of eternity.
Yet, we are also called to live in the spiritual as born again believers in the living Lord. And it is in the spiritual that we see the hand of God working in, around and through us to work out His plan for this lost and dying world (a plan that was written before the foundations of the world). Might we see through the 'eyes of faith' knowing and believing that our Lord is truly in control of all things, resting in Him as we face the daunting task that is living life in this temporal world.
True believers in all ages have faced trials, tribulations and even persecution for their faith in God and yet the answer is still the same today as it has been throughout history - the righteous man will be glad in the Lord and will take refuge in Him.
Christ is our righteousness - Christ is our refuge…
Our hope, He is our redeemer
Our strength, He is our power
Our provision, He is our provider
Our life, He is our sustainer
