This card celebrates the sweet and abundant blessings we have in the Lord through the Lord Jesus Christ in whom all of God’s promises to provide for His children, now and for eternity, are yes and amen!
Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him! But what does it mean to take refuge in the Lord? Refuge in the Lord is found only in the Lord Jesus Christ. “And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.” (Acts 4:12) Throughout Scripture, the Lord promises to deliver all who will call upon Him, all who will turn from their sins and trust in the Lord Jesus Christ.”
I sought the LORD, and he answered me and delivered me from all my fears.” (v4)
“The LORD redeems the life of his
servants; none of those who take refuge in him will be condemned.” (v22)
And for those who are the redeemed, this Psalm is a great
reminder of the rich blessings that are ours in Christ: He delivers us from our
fears, from condemnation, from the guilt and power of sin, from the wrath of
the Father. Instead He daily loads us with the benefits of salvation, including
adoption into the family of God, eternal life, an inheritance in heaven, sweet
fellowship with the saints, and so much more!
