Our Refuge, In Heaven

In Psalm 11:3, David cries out in distress “If the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?” The comforting answer is found in the following verse, “The Lord is in His holy temple” (Psalm 11:4). God is on His throne, He sees our troubles, and He will put all things to right—a sentiment found throughout the service this morning. We enter worship with the words of Psalm 93, declaring that the Lord reigns, that He is robed in majesty, that He is mightier than the waters of the sea, and that His throne is established from of old. We respond with My Hope Is Built On Nothing Less, calling Christ our solid rock, our anchor, and our support in the overwhelming flood. Hymns like O The Deep, Deep Love Of Jesus, Come, Ye Disconsolate, and Alleluia! Sing To Jesus remind us that the Lord’s throne is in Heaven, that He watches over us from His throne, and that pure waters flow from that throne—pure enough to remove all our sorrows. Even if we, like David, must “flee like a bird to your mountain” (Psalm 11:1), Incarnate God—Psalm 91 describes the Lord with the image of a shelter, where the little birds are safe from the fowler’s snare. —Henry C. Haffner
