THE 17TH OF AUGUST
THE LORD IS THERE FOR US NO MATTER THE CIRCUMSTANCES
God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, even though the earth be removed and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; though its waters roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with its swelling. Selah – Psalms 46:1-3
God is a mighty, impenetrable refuge and only in Him we find true strength. He is always there for us in times of trouble and helps us out, most of the time without us even being aware of how mighty His help was. God is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow, He will never fail to fulfill His promises. No matter what dangers we face, we can always ask the Lord to help us and know that we are protected in Him as our fortress.

We should not be afraid, no matter what our circumstances are. Even if the mountains would be moved into the deep oceans, the storms and earthquakes would cause the waters and mountains to roar and shake, or even if the whole planet earth would disappear, we should continue to trust in the protection we have in our Lord God Almighty. Many situations in life may compare to what the sons of Korah felt led to write in this psalm, but we can be totally sure that none of them is bigger than our Lord’s strength to protect and take care of us, because we have chosen to live for Him.
SUGGESTED PRAYER
Father God, You are Almighty and nothing is too hard for You. Please help me never lose heart in the midst of the storms of life and to always set my eyes upon You and trust that You will help me, like You always have. Your Word is the truth, and all Your promises are real and will come to pass. Glory and honor to Your Holy Name for who You are and all You have done and continue to do for me. Thank You Lord. Amen
