Ever-Present Help

The bible says, “God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.” This means God is always present, continually, all the time. So be encouraged because in your times of trouble He promises to help you. How is He your help? “Help” means something different to each person. That’s because “help” is specific to your need. But God always knows exactly what you need and has promised to LIBERALLY provide it!

Are you facing trouble or adversity? Are you feeling discouraged about something you’ve been asking God for? Understand that the enemy always fights the hardest when he knows you are closest to your breakthrough. He would leave you alone if he thought you were going to be satisfied living in mediocrity. Remember that the Israelites were right next to their promised land when they let the enemy talk them out of taking it. They said, “There are giants in the land. It’s too difficult.”

What are you allowing yourself to believe today? You think God isn’t interested in what concerns you? You think you’ve messed up one too many opportunities and now God has given up on you? Sweetheart, no! God loves you beyond the most perfect love you can imagine. He is patient and forgiving and all He wants is for you to trust Him. He’s made many promises to you as His precious child. The bible says He wants to prosper you and protect you and cause you to triumph in every area of life. He wants you to grow and love and be loved. Begin TRULY trusting in Him and you will see!

Friends, don’t focus on the obstacles in your life today. Don’t believe the enemy’s discouragement. Focus on the fact that that God is always with you. Look to Him for help. Trust that He is working things out to be BETTER for you; to bring you up higher. Choose to stand in faith and keep praying because I believe you’re so close to seeing your situation turn around. Don’t give up now! As you continue to follow God’s will He’ll be your ever-present help and cause things to shift in your favor.
