The Psalmist said in Psalm 46 that God is his refuge in times of trouble--- whether it's in relationship, health, financial turmoil, and unavoidable economic upsurge. God is the only One who will never fail us when we reach for help from Him. All we need to do is to acknowledge that we are helpless before Him.
I can't count how many times I've failed in the race of life. Without God's grace and hope living in me, I think I am simply living a meaningless life-- void and empty. I'm gonna shut my heart from hurting because it is marred with scars of pain and disappointments. But God is with me-- and living in me. Greater is He that's living in me than he that's in this world! I am hurting now..and I am tired with the hardball and difficulties life is throwing at me now.. Yet this is the point in my life where I need to put my trust in Him. I am not aware about His purpose but He is always good. I know someday, everything's gonna be alright. Everything will fall into proper places in the right time.
God is our refuge and strength,
an ever-present help in trouble.
2 Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way
and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea,
3 though its waters roar and foam
and the mountains quake with their surging.[c]
4 There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God,
the holy place where the Most High dwells.
5 God is within her, she will not fall;
God will help her at break of day.
6 Nations are in uproar, kingdoms fall;
he lifts his voice, the earth melts.
7 The LORD Almighty is with us;
the God of Jacob is our fortress.
8 Come and see what the LORD has done,
the desolations he has brought on the earth.
9 He makes wars cease
to the ends of the earth.
He breaks the bow and shatters the spear;
he burns the shields[d] with fire.
10 He says, “Be still, and know that I am God;
I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth.”
11 The LORD Almighty is with us;
the God of Jacob is our fortress.
God said to me, "be still, for I am your God"...
God didn't owe any explanation to me... Life circumstances are quite unnerving sometimes.. Yet it is a challenge for every Christians to hang on to God's promises. He will surely deliver us in times of our trouble. Yes, I am in pain..
My heart is stabbed with a double-edged knife but I will remain faithful to Him. I will be still, knowing that my God is a God who is in control of everything.
