In every trial, it's important to
remember God's nature because his nature
reveals his intentions toward us.
The Bible describes him as a refuge, a
deliverer, and a present help in
trouble.
Psalm 46:1 declares, "God is our refuge
and strength, a very present help in
trouble."
This means that he is right there with
you. He is the alpha and the omega, the
beginning and the end. He is patient,
caring, loving, and completely in control.
Jesus gave us clear guidance about how
to endure the storms of life.
In Matthew 7:es 24- 27, the word says,
"Everyone then who hears these words of
mine and does them will be like a wise
man who built his house on the rock."
And the rain fell, and the floods came,
and the winds blew and beat on that
house, but it did not fall, because it
had been founded on the rock.
And everyone who hears these words of
mine and does not do them will be like a
foolish man who built his house
on the
sand.
And the rain fell and the floods came
and the winds blew and beat against that
house and it fell and great was the fall
of it.
This passage is powerful because it
reminds us that storms come to everyone.
The difference is not in the storm but
in the foundation.
The one who builds on Christ, the solid
rock, stands firm when life shakes.
The one who builds on anything else crumbles.
So if your foundation is Jesus Christ,
you can face the winds and the rain with
peace in your heart, knowing you are
secure in him.
Proverbs 18:10 says, "The name of the
Lord is a strong tower. The righteous
run to it and are safe."
This is what it means to build your life
upon the rock. To make God your refuge
in every circumstance.
When your faith is built on his truth,
the pressures of life cannot destroy you. The walls of your heart remain
strong because the Lord himself is your
defender.
We need to seek God daily. His grace
strengthens us. His mercy sustains us
and his protection surrounds us.
As Lamentations 3:es 22 and 23 remind
us, the steadfast love of the Lord never
ceases. His mercies never come to an
end. They are new every morning. Great
is your faithfulness.
Each day that you wake up is another
opportunity to walk in his grace and to be
reminded that his love has not run
out. More than anything, we need his
presence.
God's presence changes everything. It
brings peace where there was fear,
clarity where there was confusion, and
strength where there was weakness.
Psalm 16:1 says, "In your presence is
fullness of joy. At your right hand are
pleasures forever more."
When his presence fills your heart, no
darkness can remain.
When you walk closely with him, you find a
security that this world cannot give.
The presence of God is power.
It is the strength that allows you to
stand up after falling, to believe again
after disappointment, and to keep moving
forward even when the way is uncertain.
Philippians 4:13
reminds us, I can do all things through
Christ who strengthens me.
That strength is not from your own
willpower. It is divine.
It's what carries you through moments
that should have broken you. It's what
