Ever Present Help
God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.
Psalms 46:1
The first words of this psalm announce its theme: God is our refuge—our fortress and shelter. God is also our strength, our every present help—the one who deals with the dangers surrounding us. And because God is our refuge and help, we have nothing to fear, even if nature throws its worst at us.
A group of Jesus’ followers feared for their lives in a storm one day, out on a boat in the middle of a huge lake. Then their Teacher stood up and said to the wind and the sea, “Quiet! Be still!” The wind quit; there was dead calm. “Who is this?” they asked. “Even the wind and the waves obey him!” (See Mark 4:35-41.)
The Lord Almighty was in that boat as their helper; the God of Jacob was their refuge.
Today the same God is in your boat as well. He always travels with you and that is why His name is called Immanuel. He is the only one who can calm the storms in your life. He is the only every present help in trouble.
What is the trouble that is bothering you, cry out to your Lord Jesus and He has promised to be quick to help you. Psalm 91:15 says, When he calls to me, I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will rescue him and honor him.
