“OUR REFUGE”

“God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.” Psalm 46:1 ESV

The God of Jacob is our fortress

A stronghold for the oppressed

Our refuge in times of trouble

Raising us up when we stumble

The Lord is our rock and our shield

Before Him all darkness must yield

Trust Him in every circumstance

Cling to His steadfast love and grace

Pour out your heart before him

Confess He is Lord and be forgiven

The righteous run to Him for safety

In Christ Jesus find unmerited mercy

The name of the Lord is a strong tower

His abundant love freely given forever

The eternal God is our dwelling place!

Our hope for that great and magnificent day!

I have been writing poetry since I was a teenager, but it wasn’t until a few of years ago that my writing became more spiritual and at the same time more prolific. As I shared my poetry with my wife, Hannah, and a few good friends, they encouraged me to place the poems in book form. My first book endeavor was “Because Of Him”, published in 2017. After hearing Sammy Murimi, the director of Share International Inc., speak at our church, I decided that the proceeds from that book would be donated to Share. In 2018, Hannah and I were privileged to go to Turkanaland in Kenya on a mission trip with Share. It was a life-changing experience for us both. Some of the inspiration from that trip is expressed in my second book, “His Cup Pours Out”. I include scripture verses with my poems because most of the poems I have written were inspired by reading God’s Word. I hope that as you visit this blog, you will meditate on the scripture verses and write down your prayers and thoughts for the week. My goal for this project has always been that God would be glorified! Robert M Hinnen
