God with you - A Series
from the Psalms
Psalm 46
(Use the link below to
read the verses.)
The
saying, “weather the storm” can refer to the actual weather outside, but often
it is used to refer to real life struggles. Struggles like having a still born
baby; the unexpected loss of a job; your fiancé breaking up with you; the death
of a loved one; dealing with an addiction.
The
possibilities of storms in your life are endless. So how do you deal with them?
What do you place your confidence in when storms come into your life? Because
one thing is for sure; they will come.
Some
people put their confidence in a relationship. Some prefer to face things on
their own, trusting in their own ability to manipulate, intimidate or problem solve.
Some trust in their material things; their bank account or portfolio; the car
they drive or the neighborhood they live in.
David
had this to say about how to weather the storms of life when you feel like your
world is falling apart.
1 God is our refuge and strength,
always ready to help in times of trouble.
2 So we will not fear when earthquakes come
and the mountains crumble into the sea.
3 Let the oceans roar and foam.
Let the mountains tremble as the waters surge! NLT
always ready to help in times of trouble.

and the mountains crumble into the sea.
3 Let the oceans roar and foam.
Let the mountains tremble as the waters surge! NLT
Maybe
your life isn’t falling apart, but the stress and struggle of daily living can
begin to feel like that. Regardless of whether you are facing a crisis event or
daily struggles, David suggests an answer that will help.
7 The Lord of Heaven’s Armies is here among us;
the God of Israel is our fortress.
the God of Israel is our fortress.
10 “Be still, and know that I am God! NLT
Spending
time in the presence of the Lord sounds so easy and makes so much sense. And
yet, it’s so hard to do in our modern world of business. However, in order to
weather the storms of life, no matter how acute they are, we must spend quiet
time, alone with the Lord.
11 The Lord of Heaven’s Armies is here among us;
the God of Israel is our fortress. NLT
the God of Israel is our fortress. NLT
