God is our refuge
◦ When we see or say that God is our refuge, it means that God is where we flee to when trouble comes. Many of us have a tendency to run anywhere but to God when things get hard. Instead, we run to family or friends, hobbies, work, or pet sins for relief from the pressures around us.
Taking refuge in God may not mean that all our troubles miraculously go away when we go to God for help. But it does mean that when we intentionally sit in the presence of God, we will find peace, rest, and strength to keep fighting the battles in front of us.
So, through life I remember reading and praying this. Then think, ok I’m ready!! What’s next?? !!! How do I sit in the presence of God? How do I take refuge. How many times do you read or hear Christian suggestions, only to leave you hanging. Absolutely hanging…no application. Like love thy neighbor….or love thy enemy 😳.. that one gets me every time.
Well, here we go !
This doesn’t just come. Our nature is not to automatically be filled with knowledge and peace of God. He has his hand out to you and by taking hold of it you will have a thirst for his knowledge. The only way to get through this world with peace and happiness is by learning how God set it up. Simply , the instruction book is the Bible. He has sent teachers, to explain the application of the Bible, to us. We are surrounded by them. Not only pastors, but writers, other Christians,friends, parents. As you seek he will supply. It’s crazy, but the Bible will explain how to handle the situation you are experiencing. Where to go from here and how. But you have to put away those things that distract you, taking up your time, numbing reality. Only to be empty when done.
Listen to your Christian radio, podcasts, read your Bible , ask about books or audio books. It may be a chore at first but God will direct you. This is the beginning of sitting in his presence.
A Bible teaching church is a must. Again, when you are leaving a church and have not been told how to apply the Bible to your life, keep walking. Finding a church that teaches understanding and application of the Bible because that is your instruction manual. We all know how confusing instruction manuals can be.
You will be delighted when you accurately apply this to your life. It’s freaking amazing
If you would like suggestions your welcome to contact me. I would love to talk with you!

Some resource suggestions :
Moody Radio plays a big role in my life. You can get it on traditional radio or through your smart phone. There is definitely a program for you on this station.
audio books!!!! Love them. Technology can be wonderful. Just order it on your phone or computer and BAM!! It’s there to listen. A good start is Lee Strobel , very easy and fun to listen or read.
Church - most churches have sermons online. Listen to a couple, visit a few , and God will direct you. We go to Dunnellon Community Church at Rainbow Springs Club&Country, 19330 SW 83rd Place Rd, Dunnellon, FL 34432 Website dunnellonchurch.com
my favorite feature is live church on line, if your checking a church out, sick, or don’t live in the area, you can still listen by going to the Facebook page or website.
last but not least is the you tube of previous messages
