Help in Trouble

2/13/2025

0 Comments

 
​When trouble hits, what is my first response? It may be hard to control that first thought, but it is entirely possible to determine what the second one will be.
It is then and there that the road to victory or defeat begins.
The first and last words of Psalm 46:1 are key to understanding how I should proceed as a believer. The last one describes the context: TROUBLE; the first one gives the response: GOD
When I am smacked with a problem, how have I chosen to respond? If this decision is not made in advance, my flesh will take the lead every time. 
How important it is to fix our eyes on God, who is our refuge against the external enemy as well as our strength for the internal struggle.
