WHEN IN DISTRESS

Psalm 59:16-17
But as for me, I will sing about your power. 
Each morning I will sing with joy about your unfailing love. 
For you have been my refuge, a place of safety when I am in distress.
O my Strength, to you I sing praises,
For you, O God, are my refuge, 
the God who shows me unfailing love.  

We all experience distress some times but I’m so thankful for God’s unfailing love, because no matter how distressed we become there is always God’s love to run to and depend on. We know He’ll never take it away from us, that it will never fail us. Bad news can’t stop it, a negative report can’t block it, our mistakes can’t cancel it. In fact, nothing can separate us from the love of God.

It’s lovely to know we can still choose to sing God’s praises each morning, whether we’ve had a good night’s sleep or not, whether we’ve  tossed and turned all night long or not, because no matter what our distress is, God is still our strength, He is still our refuge, still our safe place and that will never change.

Even if the bottom looks like it’s going to fall out, God is still there for us to see us through because His power has not changed or decreased in any way, and it will strengthen us from deep within. His angels are on assignment to us, commissioned to minister to us and help us however we may need it.  

So if ever you find yourself in distress you can know you are not on your own - God is right there with you, beside you, around you and in you. He’s has a strong hold of you, keeping you safe, and He will bring you out, to give you the victory. In Jesus name. Amen.
