UNROLL
A gap in a low stone wall at the edge of a hill town, a footpath leading off toward far pale mountains, nobody on it, under a calm hazy sky.

In the LORD I Take Refuge

The LORD is in His holy temple;

the LORD is on His heavenly throne.

His eyes are watching closely;

they examine the sons of men.

A hot desert wind over a bare gray salt plain, the sky amber with dust, streamers of sand racing over the ground, the sun a dim smear high up.

The LORD tests the righteous and the wicked;

His soul hates the lover of violence.

On the wicked He will rain down fiery coals and sulfur;

a scorching wind will be their portion.

0:12

Narrated by Bob Souer · BSB audio, public domain

For the LORD is righteous; He loves justice.

The upright will see His face.

Reflect

Who is telling you to run?

A fear can sound a lot like wisdom. Before you decide what to do, write down what you are afraid of, and then write where your refuge is.
