Overview

Experience the Depth of the Psalms with Pastor and Author Dane Ortlund.

The Psalms could be called the Bible’s devotional. Each psalm reflects on the greatness of who God is and how he cares for his people. Written with profound emotion, each psalm sheds light on the raw experiences of the human heart, revealing how God’s people should turn to him in times of anguish, pain, remorse, joy, and thanksgiving.

In the Lord I Take Refuge invites readers to experience the Psalms in a new way through heartfelt devotional content written by Dane Ortlund. Each reading is short enough to read in five minutes or less and will encourage believers to thoughtfully ponder and pray through each of the 150 Psalms. All of these features, along with a helpful introduction on how to read the Psalms devotionally, encourage believers to pause and reflect on the riches of each text as they commune daily with the Lord.

Top Highlights

“The first psalm serves as the gateway to the entire book of Psalms, stressing that those who would worship God genuinely must embrace his Law (or Torah)—that is, his covenant instruction founded on his redeeming grace.” (Page 11)

“Are you groaning today? Your reigning Savior knows what that is like. He too groaned, on a cross, so that every groaning you now experience may result in your ultimate strengthening.” (Page 21)

“Safety. Deliverance. Calmness. God delights to rescue us in our need. How do we know this? Because in Christ he’s already achieved the greatest deliverance and accomplished our greatest safety—deliverance from hell and condemnation, safety from Satan and eternal death. Jesus groaned on the cross in this life so that you and I need never groan in the next one.” (Page 38)

“We see God’s steadfast love in concrete terms, in the great climactic act of deliverance in the person of his own Son. Jesus Christ was steadfast love embodied not merely in an event but in a person.” (Page 40)

“the Holy Spirit delights to bring us into this settled place of contentment: as long as God is exalted, all is well.” (Page 158)
