Skillet lead singer John Cooper encourages everyone to take refuge in God’s Word.
God’s Word
In a recent video uploaded on John’s YouTube channel, he discussed Proverbs 30:5 to encourage everyone to take refuge in God’s Word.
“Every word of God proves true; he is a shield to those who take refuge in him.” Proverbs 30:5
When life gets challenging, many tend to find refuge in things that take the edge off. When a problem arises, the first thing we look for is someone to talk to or something to make us forget about what’s happening. But the truth is, our refuge can only be found in God.
“I’m telling you, brothers and sisters, it’s the reason you’re so stressed out… If you’re a little stressed out and you don’t feel peace in your heart, and God promised me peace but I’m not feeling it, it just might be because you are not trusting the Word of God like you ought.”

Every word of God is true. No matter how we feel about His Word, everything in it is true and His Word is a shield for those who take refuge in it.
“Is it possible that the Word of God is true even if you don’t feel like it’s true? Yes… If I trust the Word of God, I know that He is going to be a shield because that’s how you take refuge in Him.”
Whenever we’re faced with difficult situations, take refuge in His Word and surely, there you’ll find peace beyond your understanding.
“When we’re being attacked, when we are scared when we don’t know what to do with our job, we don’t run to the Word of God and prayer… and trusting the Word of God. What do we do? We run to someone else… I run to my wife, I run to my pastor… Maybe it’s even worse, maybe we don’t even run to a person, we run to a thing that is not good for you… I run to alcohol, I run to drugs… Whatever sin thing you think is going to satisfy you to give you what you need when what you need is actually in the Bible.”
