God Our Help Always

“God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.”

‭‭Psalms‬ ‭46‬:‭1‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Our God is a strong shelter and a rock of refuge in Whom we can hide during the storms and difficulties of life. He is our tower of strength, our firm fortress, and our secure stronghold to Whom we can run for protection and safety in an increasingly Christ-rejecting, God-denying, anti-Semitic, and anti-Christian world.

But no matter how the nations rage and war against the Lord and His children, we have His unfailing assurance that the Lord of hosts is with us and will never leave us nor forsake us. The God of Jacob is our rock of refuge, our safe stronghold, and our ever present help in time of trouble.

He promises to be our refuge and our source of strength in our time of need. The good news is that His strength is greater than any hardship or obstacle, no matter how intense or intimidating that difficulty may seem. He either makes a way out, a way through, or holds us close until the storm is over.

The Bible tells us that He is our refuge and strength. He wants to be where you go when things are tough. When you don’t know how you’re going to pass your history class, He wants to be your source of wisdom. When things aren’t going the way you expected, He wants to be the one you turn to. God wants to be your help when things get tough.

The shelter that He affords is not to indulge or pamper us but to reassure us, strengthen us, and enable us to stand fast in the evil day. And as Paul tells us in Ephesians and having done all to stand, as the spiritual battle between our righteous God and Satan's wicked forces continues to rage throughout the godless nations of the world.

Let us be still and know that God is our refuge, our strength, and our ever-present help in time of need.

Never let us forget that the Lord of Hosts is still with us the God of Jacob is still our refuge!!!!

Father, thank You for this day and Your life sustaining Word and how we praise You for the truths within its pages. Lord, open the floodgates of Heaven and rain down Your abundant blessings upon my friend and family today. Thank You that You are my ever-present Rock of refuge and my never-failing strength and stronghold. Lord use us to be someone’s blessing today.

Father, we love You.  Amen.!
