From The Crucible (by Pastor Linda Pugsley

Psalm 16 says, "Preserve me O God, for I take refuge in Thee." We could not last without Him.

Psalm 18 says, "The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer." Nothing can “get” us in His fortress.

Psalm 23 says, "The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want." We shall lack no good thing!

Do we just say these things? Or do we really make all of our decisions based on them as our rock solid foundation? Understanding and living just these short verses helps us in all of our trials and problems. Imagine what being filled with God’s word would do!

Let’s be refreshed as well as reminded: all we need is in God, through His Son Jesus. Go on now, go to Him. Endure the fire—it’s producing pure gold!
