We always see trouble arising in our life. No matter if its at home, our children, or our jobs we see trouble. Since this is a fact, we should be glad to be able to see God in along side of us.
Psalms 46:1 (KJV)
1 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
I. God is Our Refuge!
- He can be, and is, a covering for us in the midst of trouble.
- He is the place where we can run in and be safe
II. God is Our Resource! ("And Strength)
- He is the supplier of our needs.
- He is our strength through our weak times.
III. God Resides with us! ("a very present help in trouble")
- He is always Present, for He is Omnipresent.
- Trouble can never sneak up on a believer, for God never leaves us nor forsakes us.
- He lives within the heart and soul of a believer.
Even the rest of this Psalms proves these points.
REFUGE so there is no need to fear!
Psalms 46:2-3 (KJV)
2 Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;
3 Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah.
RESOURCE-supplies for us.
Psalms 46:4 (KJV)
4 There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the most High.
RESIDES- He's in the midst of her
Psalms 46:5 (KJV)
5 God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her, and that right early.
