Proverbs 14:26 When God Says...I Say, AMEN!

When God says...

“In the fear of the Lord there is strong confidence, And His children will have a place of refuge.” (Proverbs 14:26 NKJV)

He is affirming to us that if we allow His supreme sovereignty over us, we will have the blessed assurance of total security and provision. Peace prevails, even in a state of chaos, all types of adversities and tests handed to us, knowing that we are in a place of refuge of His mighty presence.

Those who fear the Lord run away from temptation, exemplified in the life of Joseph, who was able to resist and escape from the clutches of his master Potipar’s wife. She pursued Joseph daily saying: “Come to bed with me.” Which he persistently refused: “With me in charge,” he told her, “my master does not concern himself with anything in the house; everything he owns he has entrusted to my care. No one is greater in this house than I am. My master has withheld nothing from me except you, because you are his wife. How then could I do such a wicked thing and sin against God?” But, one day, she caught him by his cloak and said, “Come to bed with me!” But he left his cloak in her hand and ran out of the house. Accused falsely by his master’s wife, he was put in prison. But while Joseph was there in the prison, the Lord was with him; he showed him kindness and granted him favor in the eyes of the prison warden (Genesis 39).

Yes, in His grace by faith in Christ Jesus, we are made recipients of His kindness and favors. He is our fortress, as the Psalmist declares: “The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer, my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.” (Psalm 18:2 ESV)

And I say, AMEN!
