Greetings Refuge Takers...
"Every word of God is tested...He is a shield to those who take refuge in Him." (Pro-Verbs 30:5)
The word tested means...to fuse (metal), that is, refine; to cast, pure, purged. When you have the Word from God...you can rest assured that it is PURE. When you take refuge in Him...you can be confident...that nothing will penetrate his Word.
In Pro-Verbs 18:10 we see that the NAME of the Lord is a STRONG TOWER...the righteous run into it (the name of the Lord...the Strong Tower)...and is SAFE." Well...there are hundreds of names for the Lord...each one describing his character and nature. Jehovah-Raphe means I AM THE LORD YOU HEALER. So if you are sick...you need to run into the STRONG TOWER by the NAME OF RAPHE. If you need provision...you need to run into the STRONG TOWER by the name of Jehovah-Jireh...the NAME OF PROVIDER. Of course we see In John 1:1-14 that the WORD is JESUS...so if you need salvation...you run into the STRONG TOWER by the NAME OF JESUS...THE WORD OF GOD...who was in the beginning...who was with God...who WAS GOD.
I guess you run to what you trust...but when what you trust has crumbled...because it was NOT tested...you shield of is penetrated. Our shield should be FAITH TOWARDS GOD...and HIS WORD that is TESTED and TRIED.
Love and Refuge Taking Kisses
