QUICK WORD STUDY – REFUGE שׁבג
Psalms 9:9 “The Lord will also be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble.”
Refuge in Hebrew is the word shagav. It means a high place, to be raised up, set in security, to make powerful, to strengthen, strong place. It has a built in commentary. Shagav is spelled Shin – God’s loving passion for us, Gimmel – God’s lovingkindness and Beth – our hearts. When the passion of God’s love and His lovingkindness fills our hearts, we will be lifted up away from our oppressors and trouble.
Shagav is sometimes used to picture a mother holding her baby in her arms When we become overwhelmed with oppression and trouble we climb up into God’s lap, rest in his powerful arms as he separates us from our torments and begins singing to us His song of comfort.
