In Psalm 11-13, David continues the theme of God being a place of refuge. He writes “in the LORD I take refuge”. Of the poor and needy, David writes “You, O LORD, will keep them; you will guard us from this generation for ever”. Psalm 13 concludes “I have trusted in your steadfast love; my heart shall rejoice in your salvation”.
Jesus mentions a similar idea when he encourages us to ask, seek and knock. Like earthly fathers, so will our “Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him!” God is pleased when we seek to develop our relationship with Him, recognise the need to do His will, and take refuge in Him.
