In all the busyness of life, there is still only one thing necessary. Our invitation is to make the Lord our Refuge.
“But the man who makes the Lord his Refuge will inherit the land and possess My holy mountain.”
—Isaiah 57:13

Refuge Homework
For those following the Refuge theology, here's your assignment: look up five references to the word Refuge in the Bible (all you teacher's pet-types out there can look up ten references for extra credit). Look at the context, the descriptions used and the emotions behind it. Hint: my guess is you will find the three faces of God represented in each one (Bridegroom, King and Judge). The Psalms is an easy place to start, but beware, the Psalms has about twenty names for the Refuge, each showing a different facet of God while retaining the same invitation into His heart.
