Help in Tight Places

Am pleased to introduce you to my blog "THE WORD FOR TODAY" as will be going through the everyday teachings together so we can work the word and make the word work for us.

God is our refuge and strength Psalm 48:1
We live in a troubled world. 9/11; natural disasters like hurricane Ktri.a, tsunamis, the sub-prime mortgage crisis and soaring gas prices have tapped the roof of our anxiety. Every night the media invades our home bringing it all to us in real time, exposing us to a new phenomenon called "compassion fatigue", modern day psychiatrists the helplessness, stress, vulnerability and depression we feel watching and wondering. What if we are the next to be targeted by terrorist or slammed by forces of nature? Who will protect us?

According to the scriptures, in the book of Psalms 46:1 the message translation says that "God is our refuge and strength always ready to help in times of trouble" :2 so we will not fear even if earth quakes come and mountains crumble into the sea, let the oceans roar and foam, let the mountains tremble as the waters surge. The KJV says “God is our refuge and strength a very present help in the times of trouble"

Now look at it this way Jesus said that the heaven and the earth shall pass away but not one word shall pass without its fulfilment. It means that this scripture is not a waste or means to occupy some space but rather a truth that can only be activated if you believe that he will be there.

No matter the circumstance or the problem the scripture is saying about you that God is our refuge and strength and that at the moment when you get into any trouble, he is present and not just there but very much there to deliver you.
As such there is no reason why we ought to panic and say negative words concerning our situations rather let remain positive since he is very much in the situation with us.
Especially when even thing we expected that will always be stable and will never change suddenly does, for example say your spouse after 20 years of relationship break up with you, it's always so painful no matter how much you might have anticipated it and tried to brace your self for it but the reality is always ore painful than the thought of it but God is saying I AM WITH YOU. Even in that very Situation you are facing. What could be so pleasing and could make one so confident and calm.
The Lord will help us.
Food for the soul: psalm 27,23 this will give us more confident that he is with us
