Don't despair, our hope is in God

I bless the people of God on this wonderful day! God is the glorious hope of our salvation. God is refuge and strength for those who wait for him.

I share a beautiful psalm to my liking. Psalm 46: 1-3 says:

1 God is our refuge and strength, our quick help in tribulations. 2 Therefore, we will not fear, even if the earth is removed and the mountains are transferred to the heart of the sea; 3 Though they roar and their waters are agitated, and the mountains tremble for their courage.

We have only one source of security, which is God, our heavenly Father. When there are wars, the government fails, natural disasters destroy our homes, our health deteriorates or friends betray us, God is the only one in whom we can find security.

Our world, with all its advances in education, science and technology, is no safer than thousands of years ago. Something can happen at any time; and there is no security unless we put ourselves in the hand of the One who maintains eternity and who has control of all things.

We need to return to God, and only when we seek God can we find rest for our soul. The psalmist wrote: "Be still and know that I am God." (Psalm 46:10)

The Bible says: “They trust cars and horses; but we of the name of Jehovah, our God, will remember. They stagger and fall, but we stand and resist with a firm foot. "(Psalm 20: 7-8)

God is waiting to hear that we call him for help; and if we call, he will answer.

Being safe in God, we do not need the security of other things. God is in control and is firmly seated on his throne. That is why we can say: “God is our refuge and strength, our quick help in tribulations. Therefore, we will not fear, even if the earth is removed and the mountains are transferred to the heart of the sea. "(Psalm 46: 1-2)

Our security comes from our faith in God and not from our circumstances: “The Lord of hosts is with us; The God of Jacob is our refuge ”(Psalm 46: 7, 11). Our faith is to know that God is omnipresent, which gives us hope and security, because we know that the Lord is always with us.

Amen @dali13, it is really our greatest confidence to know that God is present and has the contours of every situation when we believe him with our hearts and delight in his presence.
