God Is Our Refuge And Strength

God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with their surging.

There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God, the holy place where the Most High dwells. God is within her, she will not fall; God will help her at break of day. Nations are in uproar, kingdoms fall; he lifts his voice, the earth melts.

The Lord Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress. Come and see what the Lord has done, the desolations he has brought on the earth. He makes wars cease to the ends of the earth. He breaks the bow and shatters the spear; he burns the shields with fire.

He says, “Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.”

The Lord Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress.

Psalm 46:1-11

Daniel’s vision shows us God moves among us in our day to day lives. God moves among us within our human affairs, and He provides for those who believe in Him.

We may be faced with personal challenges but God does not have those challenges. We can be confident that the high and holy One is near and ready to help us if only we ask.

With God behind you and His arms beneath you, you can face whatever lies ahead of you.
