God is With Us
God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Psalm 46:1 NIV
You know that God is strong. You know his power is unmatched. Yet sometimes you wonder, “Does he care about me?” In our world power does not necessarily mean “I care.” It means that I can do what I want, when I want.
But how does God, the most powerful One in the universe, act in relation to us. The Bible says in Psalm 46 that this strong God is also the EVER-PRESENT God. In other words, this great big God is always present to help you.
Psalms 46:5 continues with these words -

Psalms 46:5 continues with these words -
“God is within her, she will not fall; God will help her at break of day.”
You can not only run to this powerful God for help, but he stays within you. He is that close! The constant presence of God in your life means that you will not fall. But yet, you still wonder… “Isn’t it possible for me to start cracking under pressure, to begin falling over when troubles overwhelm me?”
Psalm 46:10 says, “Be still and know that I am God.” This is your part to play. You can do this. Quiet your spirit. Remember the One who is God. And you are not him! Call out to your spirit, “Be still. Remember that God is alive. And he is with me!”
We begin to lose our way when we forget that God is ever-present to care for us in our troubles. So be still and remember that “The Lord Almighty is with you.” He is ever-present to care for you.
