” God is our refuge and strength, always ready to help in times of trouble. So, we will not fear when earthquakes come and mountains crumble into the sea. Let the oceans roar and foam. Let the mountains tremble as the waters surge.” Psalm 46:1-3
Our world today is in crisis. It is not just here in the America or in just Asia or in Europe or just anywhere else. It is the total world. There are earthquakes taking place all around the world. There are weather patterns forming that are causing grief and horrible destruction all over the world. I beg to differ that this is due to climate change as so many seem to claim. I would suggest that this has to do with our God in heaven and his mighty plan. He fully describes in Matthew 24 and in the book of Revelation just what is going to happen before Jesus returns. We are living through many of these things today. We do not know when he will return but we do know the season from which he will return. We are living that season. We all have problems, some greater than others, but the depth of our struggles is not what counts. It is the depth of our faith to get through those struggles that count. A disaster is a disaster. It is how we come through our individual disasters that count. Psalm 46:1-3 is very plain. God is our refuge. He is the answer. He has prepared us all for our situations by giving his one and only Son, Jesus Christ to die for us. He sent His precious Holy Spirit to help us through good and bad times. However, it is up to us to accept and use what he has given to us. It may seem like our world is coming down on our heads but in reality, it is not. It may seem like our world is coming to an end, but it is not. If we have accepted Jesus and use the Holy Spirit for guidance, then our life is just beginning. We have been chosen for this time. If we depend upon our God in heaven for our safety and believe in his truths we will overcome and do it with strength and peace of mind. It is when we forget or decide to not follow Jesus that our lives turn upside down. It is then that we lose control and allow confusion, anxiety and fear to dominate our thoughts. We cannot allow this to happen. We must keep our focus on Jesus and nothing else. If our lives are going well then, we should be praising him and thanking him for our many blessings. If we are going through a problem, then we should be praying to him. Our focus is to be on Jesus and not the problems around us. Read the bible, study every word, pray hard and often and praise the Lord in all and through all situations! HE IS OUR REFUGE! PRAISE THE ORD IN ALL THINGS!
