Today’s Topic: A Very Present Help
Topic: God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. – Psalm 46:1, NKJV
Today’s Word
We know God is always with us, but when you’re in troubled situations, if you’ll invite Him in, you’ll feel His presence in a greater way. You’ll be aware that you are not alone. You won’t live frustrated because you got thrown into a difficulty. You’ll stay at peace knowing that the God who controls the troubles, the God who speaks to storms, the God who restores, who heals, who pays you back for the injustice, is watching over you, protecting you, ordering your steps.
God may not deliver you from the trouble, but He’ll be a very present help in the trouble. He’ll help you overcome what looks impossible. What would have taken other people out won’t have any effect on you. That loved one you lost, that person who walked away, that heartbreak should have soured your life. But look at you, still moving forward, doing great things, fulfilling your purpose. You’re coming out free, bold, confident, healthy, promoted, victorious, ready to fulfill your destiny. How can that be? God is your refuge and strength, your help in the trouble.
Prayer For Today
“Father, thank You for Your promise to be with me through life’s troubles. I know that You’re here with me now as my refuge and strength, and I invite You into every challenging situation in my life. Help me to grow through it, to increase my faith, to let my character come up higher. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
TODAY’S INSPIRATIONAL MESSAGE: When you say, “I am not valuable. I am not talented. I am ordinary.” That’s dishonoring to God. You are using His name, the “I Am,” to contradict who He says you are. You may feel that way, but you have to turn it around. In the face of insecurity, feeling inferior, you need to say, “I am worthy. I am valuable. I am a masterpiece. I am talented. I am crowned with favor.” That’s what causes God to go to work. The circumstances may say one thing. It’s tempting to talk about that, but you have to get in agreement with God. “I may be struggling with this addiction, but I am not an addict. I am not dysfunctional. I am not a product of my environment. I am free. I am whole. I am clean. I am victorious.”
When you say, “I am weak. I am addicted. I am dysfunctional. I am unworthy. I don’t deserve to be blessed. I am not able. I don’t have the training. I am disadvantaged. I didn’t have a good upbringing,” that dishonors God. When you use “I am” to describe who you are or to describe your circumstances, you need to make sure it’s in agreement with who God says you are. Don’t use your “I am” to devalue yourself.
