“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.” Psalms 46:1-3
Trouble comes.
It is inevitable.
On this earth, through these earthly vessels, trouble will enter into our lives.
So much so that we can feel the mountains quake and hear the oceans roar.
Be we do not fear.
The Psalmist says, “we will not fear”.
He doesn’t say, “we don’t need to fear,” or “do not fear”, or “stop fearing”.
He says, “we will not fear”.
When the earth gives way…when our world is shaken to its core and our hearts tremble as the ocean surges…we do not fear.
Because God is our refuge and strength.
We hide in his shadow.
He sustains us and strengthens us.
We are not abandoned to fear and dismay and discouragement and hostility.
We are on solid ground.
He is our ever-present (constant and ongoing) help in times of trouble.
There is no question and no doubt in God’s presence and his strength.
Surrounded by trouble, we are secure.
“The Lord Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress.” Psalms 46:11
What great assurance!
What peace of mind!
God is with us…he is our fortress.
Trouble will come, but we will not fear.
