GOD IS OUR REFUGE AND STRENGTH!

Psalm 46:1-3  "God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, even though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; Though its waters roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with its swelling."
 
In other words, no matter how bad things get, God will be there with us. God is our impenetrable defense. The author of this Scripture uses the imagery of a fortress to describe God. In that day, cities were built within high walls which gave them the protection they needed. The high walls weren't a promise of safety, but the God of the universe certainly was.
 
Let's be encouraged today in remembering that God is our refuge, our strength, and our very help in trouble.  There is nowhere else to look or no one else to seek. He is here in the midst of us!
