In you, O Lord, do I take refuge; let me never be put to shame; in your righteousness deliver me! Incline your ear to me; rescue me speedily! Be a rock of refuge for me, a strong fortress to save me! For you are my rock and my fortress; and for your name's sake you lead me and guide me; you take me out of the net they have hidden for me, for you are my refuge.
Psalm 31:1-4 (ESV)It seems that David is asking God to be his refuge quite often. You would think that being in God's will would make life easy, and that one would not need to constantly seek the refuge of the Almighty. Yet, as we read the Psalms, we see David repeatedly seeking just that.
Could it be that Western Christianity has it wrong? Could it be that when one is in the middle of God's plan, there is no peace, hope, or refuge apart from God, for the enemy, at that time, is relentless?
