PROMISE 27 – REFUGE FROM THE STORM

PROMISE 27 – REFUGE FROM THE STORM

In the fear of the Lord there is strong confidence, and His children will have a place of refuge.—Proverbs 14:26
The fear of the Lord is the highest degree of reverence for God. Parents whose hearts are inclined this way build a refuge for their children in a world that often disrespects and disregards God. When we infuse our children’s minds with eh fear of the Lord, we teach them that they are accountable to God, and we awaken in them a desire to be acceptable in His sight. This builds confidence in our offspring that they can be righteous in God’s sight and receive His provision and protection. We know ominous clouds are on the horizon spiritually. Very dark things are predicted over this planet. Such prophetic insight can cause even believers to be concerned about what their children might face. Yet we know that our Savior is “a refuge from the storm”(Isa. 25:4). Though tumultuous times are ahead, the Prince of Peace will come and make wars “cease to the ends of the earth” (Ps 46:9). No wonder the psalmist was rejoicing as he concluded. “The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge” (v. 11) NO BETTER REFUGE CAN BE FOUND!!!
PRAYER DECLARATION
Lord God, I declare that I fear You, and I have endeavored to instill this reverential awe in my child. We honor You and exalt You to the highest place in our lives. We are filled with awe at Your greatness, Your holiness, and Your power. Because of this, I believe divine protection for my child in every area of life, especially as we approach the last days. Though this world is filled with danger and deception, I confess that Josh will always have a place of refuge in You. In the name of Jesus, amen (LET IT BE SO)!
