We know God is our refuge through the revelation of His Word and the experience of His help in our troubles.
The assurance that God is our refuge is firmly rooted in Scripture and the experiences of believers. Psalm 46 declares God as a refuge and strength, reinforcing the belief that He is present in our struggles. Moreover, the experience of believers throughout the ages confirms that in moments of distress, God provides comfort and protection. The gospel invites us to cast our burdens upon Him, and as we do so, we witness His faithfulness in upholding and sustaining us in our afflictions, which deepens our understanding of His refuge.
