Psalm 46:1 God is our refuge and strength, always ready to help in times of trouble.
We scratch our heads sometimes and wonder how things happen. In a split second it went from calm to chaos, but that’s just life, and it’s good if we can keep our cool when it happens! My event wasn’t serious really, just very annoying and inconvenient. But what about when something serious occurs? What then?
It does help when we know we have the Holy Spirit right there with us, whatever time of day or night we need Him. We can call on Him to help us not freeze up, or melt down, whichever we tend to do!😊 I’m realising more and more how important it is to start the day with the Lord, to commit everything to Him at the beginning so we know whatever happens we’ve already invited Him in to help us with it all, to hold us steady in the storms and upsets.
Even if we don’t always cope with it very well, or haven’t even acknowledged Him that day, God doesn’t say, “Well you didn’t pray today so I’m not going to help you!” God is not like that, but His heart is always compassionate towards us and always ready to lift us up and strengthen us for whatever situation, trouble or crisis that’s arisen.
So be encouraged today, whether it’s a storm in a teacup (literally) or something much more serious, our God is the God who is always there when the unexpected happens, holding on to us, helping us deal with it or delivering us from it and loving us through it.
We won’t always know why things happen, and to be honest we don’t need to, but we can know God is with us. He’s never taken by surprise, and as we keep trusting Him He’s promised to crown us with His love and compassion, and satisfy our desires with good things. (Psalm 103). How reassuring that is.😊 Thank You Lord for always being there for us. Amen.
