“In the LORD, I take refuge. How can you say to my soul, ‘Flee as a bird to your mountain’… ” (Psalm 11:1)
There is not enough time or space here for me to properly convey to you how much I love Psalm 11. Though short, this psalm of David is a prayerful reminder that we all have two choices in life – flee for the mountains of our own wisdom or stand firm and take refuge in the LORD.
Your life will be defined by one of those two convictions. Either you live a life like a bird, constantly flitting along trying to solve things your way, anxious, distressed, and entirely self-reliant, OR you live a life built upon a foundation of trust in God.
You must choose. Will you take your refuge in Him, or will you run for the hills every time adversity and persecution arrive?
