God is our refuge.

Trust in Him at all times, ye people. Pour out your heart before Him. God is a refuge for us. Ps 62:8

More thoughts from Percy Ainsworth.

God is a refuge for us. That is the great discovery of faith. That is the merciful word that comes to be written so plainly in the life that has formed the habit of faith. God our refuge. It may be that to some the word 'refuge' suggests the occasional rather than the constant need of life. But the refuge some day and the faith every day are linked together. A thing is no use to you if you cannot find it when you want it. And you cannot find it easily if it be not at hand. The peasant built his cottage under the shadow of his lord's castle walls. In the hour of peril it was but a step to the strong fortress. 'Trust in Him at all times.' Build your house under the walls of the Eternal Help. Live in the Presence. Find the attitude of faith, and the act of faith will be simple. Trust in Him through every hour, and when a tragic hour comes one step shall take you into the innermost safety.

What do you think of his analogy?  The peasant builds outside to have some independence, some freedom.  My thought is I want to build my cottage within his walls.  God should be my refuge at all times.
