God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Psalm 46:1 (NRSV) God is our shelter in the storm and a solid rock in times of distress. When the waves of life try to overwhelm us, in His presence we find true rest. A present help in the times of trouble and protection from the enemy’s snares. Our God never leaves us defenseless, because we are being kept under His providential care. He covers us when the storms are raging and we feel like there is no relief in sight. This battle is not ours; it’s the Lord’s to fight. Arise and don’t let life cause you to doubt or feel helpless. God is covering you by His grace and mercy, so you are blessed. Our troubles don’t take Him by surprise. What was sent to break us will not be our demise. In Christ we destined to rise. Press Forward! ADaubon
