In this morning's verse from Deuteronomy, Moses pronounces a blessing over Asher, one of Jacob's sons. Let's take a look at the very first phrase of this verse, The eternal God is thy refuge. What exactly does that mean?
The first adjective, eternal, means that God will always be with us. There is never a time when He will not exist; He has always existed and will always exist. So, we never have to feel alone or unheard … we know that He is always here.

God is our refuge means that He provides with safety, peace, comfort, and a place of rest--security where there is none. We can be anywhere in the world and still be sustained by the Lord. We will never be out of His reach or care.
Think about the challenges that you are facing in the coming days. Do they make you nervous or afraid? Sometimes circumstances are challenging. Yet we can broaden our perspectives, take a step back, and remember who God is … eternal and our refuge.
The Lord is in control of every circumstance; nothing happens unless He allows it. Even if something terrible happens to us, God does not change. He is always good, present, and loving, even if our circumstances cause us to lose sight of that. Make the decision to count on God, even in your suffering, and you will experience Him as your eternal, everlasting refuge.
