A Refuge in Calamity (Proverbs 14)
March 30, 2020Proverbs 14 tells us that when calamity comes, even in death it says, the righteous have a refuge. Nearly every blended family has experienced a great loss. An absent parent, the death of a parent, or the death of a family through divorce. But I've repeatedly witnessed, beaten and battered people holding on to the rock of their salvation, surviving the storm, and emerging on the other side. Our refuge is not brought down by our circumstances. God is dependable. Hold on to Him.
