A common theme of worship, is that we seek in God, a refuge, a place of security. In Psalm 17, the Psalmist prays: “Hide me in the shadow of your wings”. Such prayers are often found in the Psalms. But what does it mean to find refuge in God? It cannot be that, through faith, God rearranges our experience to protect us from encountering life’s ups and downs. For, even the strongest of faiths does not insulate us from illness and ill-fortune. What our faith offers, instead, is the conviction that in all the uncertainties of the present and future, we commune with Him who is unchangeable, certain and dependably loving.
