Psalm 46:1 by Brandi Peters

God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Psalm 46:1

There are many world views of God that either discount His existence or at the very least His level of involvement in the earth He created. He is painted as a distant observer, a non-caring deity. This is a far cry from the God of the Psalms, the personal God who King David cries out to in times of prosperity and trouble.

This is my God. My God is present. He is here, near at all times. That doesn’t mean that He is an all-powerful genie sent to fulfill our every desire. On the contrary, He is Lord of all, ready to meet the deepest needs of His children as He uses us for His glory.

Lord, thank you for being near in times of growth as well as despair. You are the only true refuge. Trouble threatens to overtake us in this world, but we have strength in You. Help us rest in this truth. Amen
