Psalm 46:1-2. God is our refuge and strength; a very present help in trouble. Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea.
More encouraging words from the Psalmist David. Seems like I’m on a Psalms roll these last few days, but there’s nobody who expresses his faith and LOVE for God better than David. In the good times, as well as the rough groundings, he always had the Lord in his heart, his mind and his mouth. When he states that ‘God is our refuge and strength; a very present help in trouble’ yuh better believe he knows what he’s talking about. It was only through the watchful oversight of God and His guiding hand that David managed to defeat Goliath in the first place, then overcome his numerous enemies later on, including Saul and his own son, Absalom. The same thing applies to us as believers; our great and mighty Father is always looking out for us. In times of despair, when our faith is low, it’s to His loving, empowering, welcoming arms we should run. He will always help us in times of trouble. He says He will never let the righteous suffer. And He’s a keeper of his word. David had so much faith in God, that he advocates we should not be afraid even in times of great peril and natural disasters; the earth moving and mountains being carried into the sea. Guess in reality he could be referring to earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. Now we know it’s difficult not to be afraid when caught up in that kind of catastrophe. But beneath it all Friends, we should still have a little of the faith flame burning, like a pilot light on a furnace, that stays on constantly, even when the furnace is not operating. Friends, we can’t ever let our pilot light go out, else we’d be completely lost. I believe David would have loved the modern analogy, which says, like All State, we’re in safe hands, the safest, when we put our trust in, and rely on the guidance of Our Heavenly Father. He’s always in control, always with us. He’ll never let us down. Much LOVE & Plenty Faith Boosting. We sorely and surely need it.
