Psalm 46:1 God is our refuge and strength. A very present help in trouble.
As I thought about that I realised that God doesn’t only have to be our help when we’re in trouble, He can be our help in every situation whether it’s trouble or not.😊
God is just our very present help, full stop. He’s there for us all the time, in the ups and in the downs. He’s there with us when we’re laughing about something, and He’s there with us when we’re deep in sorrow or troubles. God is there for us, and He says in His presence is fullness of joy. In other words He’ll help to lighten our spirits when we remember who is on our side so our victory is assured, that He wants to be involved on our behalf.
I’m sure it would probably help us all to have an even greater awareness of God being present all the time. He’s right there with you now, this minute. He’s not far off like He was in the Old Testament days. They didn’t have the Holy Spirit in dwelling them but we do. Wherever we go God goes too because He is in us. We can turn to Him at a moment’s notice and we’ll find He’s right there ready to enter in to whatever we invite Him in to.
We can enjoy knowing we’re never alone for one moment, that when we have the Holy Spirit we have a Companion, a Helper, Someone to strengthen us and give us wisdom when we don’t know what to do or say. Jesus came as Emmanuel - God is with us. God wanted to be with us. He wants to be part of our lives, part of our everyday. What an amazing thought. We are so blessed!
So as we begin another working week we can relax knowing GOD IS PRESENT, here with us at all times, in all circumstances and He is constantly watching over our lives. Thank You Lord.
