July 26: God is Our Refuge Forever


“For this God is our God forever and ever; He will be our guide even to death.”
— Psalm 48:14 (NKJV)

5 Points:

  1. God is not a temporary help; He is forever ours.
  2. His guidance leads from life into eternal life.
  3. We never walk a single step without His care.
  4. Death does not end God’s promises to us.
  5. God’s security surrounds us from first breath to last breath.

Poem: Guide of Every Step

The early steps slip on morning dew.
The fields stretch far beyond my eyes.
But your hand tugs at every turn.
You mark each road with careful light.
You guide each hour with quiet songs.

The noontime paths blaze hot and long.
The stones cut deep into the dreams.
But your strength flows into weary bones.
You carry the worn and broken feet.
You build a stream where deserts burn.

The evening trails twist out of sight.
The hills rise steeper than the breath.
But you steady the shaking climb.
You lay new bridges over the fear.
You lift the soul toward softer skies.

The last steps reach toward mist and cloud.
The heart beats slow with deeper songs.
But you walk closer than the wind.
You catch the soul as twilight falls.
You lead the weary into golden fields.

Today I trust the Guide who never sleeps.
Today I walk by the light of your smile.
You are the path before my fears.
You are the home after the night.
You are the God of forever steps.
