Title: A Refuge and Strength to Live Life On Purpose
Text:
Psalm 46:1-2 (NASB)
1 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
2 Therefore we will not fear, though the earth should change and though the mountains slip into the heart of the sea;
Observation:
I adopted the verse that follows as my life’s verse about eighteen years ago. It has greatly helped me to live my life in accordance with God’s purpose. I have discovered that God is not hard to find if I seek Him.
Psalm 105:4 (NASB)
4 Seek the LORD and His strength; Seek His face continually.
The reason why it is not hard to find God is because of this verse.
2 Chronicles 16:9 (NASB)
9 "For the eyes of the LORD move to and fro throughout the earth that He may strongly support those whose heart is completely His. You have acted foolishly in this. Indeed, from now on you will surely have wars."
O, the benefits of being in the presence of the Lord; to seek Him bring us face to face with the Sovereign God, who is God all by Himself, which makes Him sufficient for all our needs. God is looking for you, are you looking for Him?
In the presence of God we find help in our times of trouble; we find the strength that we need, and we have no reason to fear failure or what man can do to us. Everything we need to fulfill our God ordained purpose for still being alive are available from the hands of our all loving and all powerful God.
Allow this promise to sink deep into your heart, and learn to stand on this promise when the strong winds of adversity blow. Don’t live life alone when You can live it with the Lord every moment of your life.
Psalm 46:2 (NASB)
2 Therefore we will not fear, though the earth should change And though the mountains slip into the heart of the sea;
Prayer:
Father God, my dear Father, I choose to trust in You for everything, and to not worry about anything. Father, I am resting in Your strong hands, and in the comfort of Your tender heart, and praying with the aid of the Holy Spirit, and in the name of Jesus, Amen.
Deuteronomy 33:27 (NASB)
27 "The eternal God is a dwelling place, And underneath are the everlasting arms; And He drove out the enemy from before you, And said, 'Destroy!'
