Tuesday: The Lord Is a Refuge in Adversity
Daily Lesson for Tuesday 23rd of January 2024
Read Psalms 17:7-9, Psalms 31:1-3, and Psalms 91:2-7. What does the psalmist do in times of trouble?
The psalmist encounters various sorts of troubles and, in them, turns to the Lord, who is a refuge in every adversity. Trust is a deliberate choice to acknowledge God’s lordship over one’s life in all circumstances. If trust does not work in adversity, then it will not work anywhere.

The psalmist’s testimony, “I will say of the Lord, ‘He is my refuge and my fortress; my God, in Him I will trust’ ” (Psalms 91:2, NKJV), springs from his past experience with God and now serves to strengthen his faith for the future. The psalmist calls God the Most High and the Almighty (Psalms 91:1-2), remembering the surpassing greatness of his God.
The psalmist also tells of the security that one can find in God: the “secret place” (“shelter” or “hiding place”), “shadow” (Psalms 91:1), “refuge,” “fortress” (Psalms 91:2), “wings,” “shield,” “buckler” (Psalms 91:4), and “dwelling place” (Psalms 91:9, NKJV). These images represent safe havens in the psalmist’s culture. One needs only to think of the unbearable heat of the sun in that part of the world in order to appreciate the shadow (or shade) or to recall the times of wars in Israel’s history in order to value the security provided by the shield or the fortress.
Read Psalms 17:8 and Matthew 23:37. What image is used here, and what does it reveal?
One of the most intimate metaphors is the one that refers to being “under the shadow of Your wings” (Psalms 17:8, Psalms 57:1, Psalms 63:7, NKJV). This metaphor elicits comfort and assurance by implying the protection of a mother bird. The Lord is compared to an eagle who guards its young with its wings (Exodus 19:4, Deuteronomy 32:11) and to a hen who gathers her chicks under her wings (Matthew 23:37).
How, though, do we deal with the times when calamity strikes, and we can’t seem to see the Lord’s protection? Why do these traumas not mean that the Lord is not there with us?

4: The Lord Hears and Delivers – Singing with Inspiration
The beautiful picture on the front of our lesson pamphlet brings us our theme hymn for this quarter with it’s two variations in melody:
Hymn 552/546 – The Lord’s My Shepherd.
Psalm 100:2: “Serve the Lord with gladness; Come before His presence with singing”.
We find in our Sabbath afternoon introduction that God is “near to all who call upon Him….” (Psalm 145:18) –
Hymn 668 – O Thou Who Hearest. God will draw near to us:
Hymn 405 – O God, Unseen, Yet Ever Near and we will be safe being
Near To The Heart Of God – Hymn 495.
Learning more on Sunday, we are able to be found
Leaning On The Everlasting Arms – Hymn 469 (if you have the pre-1985 hymnal Hymn 615 – Safe In The Arms of Jesus), knowing that
In Christ There Is No East Or West – Hymn 587 because
O God, Our Help – Hymn 103.
“Assurance of God’s Care” (Monday) is in
Hymn 99 – God Will Take Care of You and
Hymn 101 – Children Of The Heavenly Father all because we
Only Trust Him – Hymn 279. Our trust in God continues into Tuesday’s study time.
Our refuge is a very intimate one being “under the shadow of Your wings” (Wednesday):
Hymn 529 – Under His Wings.
Our Strong Deliverer is sung in verse 2 of
Hymn 538 – Guide Me, O Thou Great Jehovah, which also shows our Defender.
“The Sanctuary service represented the salvation found in Jesus” and we are reminded of this (particularly in verse 3) of
Hymn 100 – Great Is Thy Faithfulness just as is written in Psalm 143:2, 9-12) (Thursday) because “the sanctuary service represented the salvation found in Jesus”:
Hymn 646 – To The Name That Brings Salvation.
To learn unknown hymns, you will find the accompaniment music for each one at: https://sdahymnals.com/Hymnal/
Another great resource is for when there is a hymn you wish to sing but can’t find it in your hymnal. Go to https://www.sdahymnal.org/Search and in the search bar type a special word in that is in the hymn. I am sure you will be amazed at the help you will be given.
2 Timothy 2:15 KJV – “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.”
