TRUST IN GOD - 2

Psalm 46: 1-5

GOD is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah.

There is a river, the streams whereof make glad the city of GOD, the holy place of the tabernacle of the Most High. GOD is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved. GOD shall help her, and that right early.

GOD IS VERY PRESENT, NOW

I end this week of meditation on "Trust in GOD" with this Word from the LORD in Psalm 46: When the earth moves, the mountains shake and the waters of life roar with a great thunder; when we look and see destruction and turmoil in the midst of our life; LOOK UP, YOUR REDEMPTION DRAWS NEAR. 

The Scripture is very clear that we are to acknowledge the LORD GOD, always, and He will direct our path. JESUS commanded the wind and the sea to become calm and they obeyed Him. The storms of our life are not different from the storms of nature; they come in like a flood and vanish  when they are finished their course. Our troubles are just like that, they come in like a flood and then vanish; we are left with questions and fears.  The Psalmist is very clear; JESUS says over and over again, FEAR NOT; TRUST IN THE LORD.

There is a river that flows from beneath the Throne of GOD and GOD is in the middle of that River. When we acknowledge the LORD, He becomes the refuge and strength needed to stand firm and be unmovable. GOD gives us His faith and we clasp hands with Him through our belief and trust in Him. When the hands are clasped, He leads in the path of righteousness and we are with Him. Through it all, the LORD will help and we will not fear.

TRUST IN THE LORD WITH ALL YOUR HEART AND LEAN NOT UNTO YOU OWN UNDERSTANDING; IN ALL YOUR WAYS ACKNOWLEDGE HIM AND HE WILL DIRECT YOUR PATH.
