Summary
The Lord is the one that we have to take refuge in! When Psalms compares the attacks of the enemy to a bow and arrow, what does that mean? Today, Emma Dotter & Watermark Staff Member Tess Brag unpack arrows and the Lord’s being a refuge of the heart. This passage shows that the enemy will come for the hearts of people, and that’s why we must look to God as our refuge.
Additional Scriptures used in this passage:
Ephesians 2:8-9, “For by grace you have been saved through faith, this is not your own doing, it is a gift of God, not a result of works so that no man may boast.”
John 10:10, “The thief comes to steal, kill, and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.

| 0:49.3 | So I grew up in the church, my family, incredible, faithful followers of Jesus. And I saw that as an example |
| 0:58.3 | growing up of, you love Jesus and so your life is for him. But in my twisted human wrong way |
