“The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed, A refuge in times of trouble.” — Psalm 9:9
The reason faith and trust in God continue to remain alive among people in this world is that God has kept many individuals humble and simple. As we read the Scriptures, we see that it was not the wealthy or the powerful who lived with deep faith in God, but rather the lowly and the oppressed who lived with greater devotion and spiritual commitment. On the other hand, the rich often act religious merely to increase their wealth and display their greatness. Generally, profound spiritual experiences are not found among those who live in luxury.
The reason is that humble and simple people, when distressed, cling to God with faith. They experience His power and the joy of His deliverance in their personal lives. They pass on these experiences to their children, nurturing them with the same trust in God.
When we read the Scriptures, it is ordinary, poor, and simple people who teach us the greatest spiritual lessons. David, when he lived in lowliness, trusted God during times of distress and took refuge in Him — and God exalted him as king. Likewise, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Naomi, Gideon, and many others were people who, from a lowly state, looked to God and lived with Him as their refuge.
From his own life experiences, David declares today’s meditation verse. Yes, he continues by saying: “For the needy will not always be forgotten, Nor the hope of the afflicted perish forever.” — Psalm 9:18
Mother Mary also proclaims that when we live a true life that fears God, He exalts the humble from generation to generation: “And His mercy is to generation after generation toward those who fear Him. He has done mighty deeds with His arm; He has scattered those who were proud in the thoughts of their hearts. He has brought down rulers from their thrones and has exalted those who were humble.”— Luke 1:50–52
If pride is found in the thoughts of our hearts, let us remove it and seek the humility God desires.
Dearly beloved, perhaps today we are discouraged by the problems we face. But this meditation verse helps us remove such hopelessness. Yes, our God is a refuge for the oppressed; He is our shelter in times of trouble. Therefore, especially in moments of distress, we must look to God and live with stronger faith.
Let us take a firm decision to live a life that fears the Lord. “And His mercy is to generation after generation toward those who fear Him.”
