His strength will carry you through

Psalm 46:1

God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.

There is one thing that's almost universal. Whenever people are in there most troubled moments, they cry out to God. Whether it is out of a deep rooted believe that God can actually help or as a last ditch effort, calling out to him when in trouble is commonplace.

But in the verse above it says that he is our ever-present help in trouble. That doesn't mean that he waits till you are in deep trouble and you call out to him. He is "ever-present", he is there with you now and always.

In other words; he was there when your trouble started and he will be there when it ends. He allowed trouble to come into your life and he will resolved it when he has you where you need to be.

That's why he is our refuge and strength because he is ever-present. His watchful eye is there to keep us under his wings of protection.

So do you find yourself in trouble today? Think of why you have this trouble. Can you see God's protective hand despite your trouble? Why is God allowing this particular trouble in your life? What does he want you to learn or achieve?

You probably know the answers already but like me, you are either to proud or selfish to admit them. Your trouble could very well be there to get you to admit them!

But rest assured that his strength will carry you through.
