Psalms 46: 1 – 2
Our refuge and strength…
Although we all experience spiritual barrenness at times, this is not normal, for GOD desires to be near His people with help and comfort. This psalm expresses trust and confidence in GOD during a time of instability and insecurity. The power and ability to face the uncertainties and adversities of life are found in GOD. Refuge pictures a shelter from danger, indicating God is our true security in the storms of life. Strength refers to HIS might when battling our foes.​

OLD TESTAMENT
🌈
Numbers 11: 1 – 20
Numbers 11: 4
The Mixt multitude……fell a lusting…
These were the non- Israelites who joined the people in the exodus, they influenced Israel to rebel against GOD and desire the presumed pleasures of Egypt.

NEW TESTAMENT
✝
Acts 21: 27 – 40
In the temple, where Paul should have been protected as in a place of safety, he was violently set upon. They falsely charged him with ill doctrine and ill practice against the Mosaic ceremonies. It is no new thing for those who mean honestly and act regularly, to have things laid to their charge which they know not and never thought of. It is common for the wise and good to have that charged against them by malicious people, with which they thought to have obliged them. GOD often makes those a protection to his people, who have no affection to them, but only have compassion for sufferers, and regard to the public peace. And here see what false, mistaken notions of good people and good ministers, many run away with. But GOD seasonably interposes for the safety of his servants, from wicked and unreasonable men; and gives them opportunities to speak for themselves, to plead for the Redeemer, and to spread abroad HIS glorious gospel.
