‘GOD IS VERY PRESENT…IN TROUBLE’ PSALM 46:1
In a dream, a man once saw Jesus approach three praying women. He knelt beside the first with great tenderness and love. At the second, He simply placed His hand on her head and gave her a look of approval. He passed by the third without even stopping. Sensing the man?s bewilderment, Jesus explained, ‘Without constant assurance, the first woman would stumble and fall. The second woman?s faith is stronger; I can count on her. The third, however, is being trained for the highest calling of all. She knows Me so intimately that she doesn?t need signs of My approval. No circumstance discourages her because she knows that ultimately she can trust Me.’ Being sinful, we fail. Being prone to sickness, we hurt. Being mortal, we die. Pressure wears us down. Anxiety gives us ulcers. People intimidate us. Criticism offends us. Disease scares us. Death haunts us. What?s the answer? ‘God is?very present. . .in trouble’ (Psalm 46:1). Never doubt in the dark what God told you in the light. He is with you day by day on your pilgrimage; His unsearchable mind, working in concert with His unfathomable will, is carrying things out under His sovereign control. When we hit rough spots, our tendency is to feel abandoned, yet the opposite is true, for at that moment we are more than ever the object of His love and concern. Yes, even when our vision gets blurred, our thinking foggy and we look up and can?t see Him clearly ? He is there!
