Psalm 46:1-3, 10 God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with their surging... Be still and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.
Psalm 59:16-17 But I will sing of your strength, in the morning I will sing of your love; for you are my fortress, my refuge in times of trouble. O my Strength, I sing praise to you; you, O God, are my fortress, my loving God.
As I went about my morning, I crossed paths with so many people who are troubled. We talked about world troubles, national troubles, and troubles in our own homes...
Yes, we live in troubled times at all levels of our lives... but, praise God and His abundant mercy and grace! We are His children! As children of God, we have His promises. And, oh, such joy and peace can come from those promises! Knowing He is our fortress, our refuge, our strength, and our ever-present help can change our worries to peace. My dear friends, rest in His peace and His presence. He knows it all and He is in control. Always.
Dear Heavenly Father, help us to remember Your promises when our world and our lives seem shaken and troubled. For we know that your Word says You are God -- Mighty, Powerful, and Unchanging. I praise You for Your ever-present help in our times of trouble. Thank You, LORD, that all is well with my soul. Amen.
