Our Refuge and Strength

Series: Pray the Psalms

Our Refuge and Strength

July 16, 2023 | Troy Duppenthaler

One author says, "Our pressing need in life is to know how to look both personal adversity and the threats of world history in the face.” In this Psalm, we are given the resources to do just that. Because God is our refuge and strength, we will not fear, we will be glad, and we will be still, no matter what comes our way in life.

Series Information

St. Augustine said "He who sings prays twice."  The book of Psalms is a unique book of the Bible designed for Israel's times of corporate worship and prayer.  Worship is our response to God based on who He is and what He has done, and the Psalms are a God-inspired response of worship.  Throughout the series each week we will look at a different Psalm and uncover the riches contained in that Psalm, as well as different categories of worship and prayer throughout the book.  In addition, we are encouraging our church to pray the Psalms as part of your daily worship and prayer to God; doing so will expand and enrich your prayer life.
