Psalm 46:1-7 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. The Lord of host is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge.
The essence of this psalm is to provide comfort in the time of trials and tribulations, because at some point in our lives we will experience stress, anxiety, and spiritual barrenness (psalm 44). What one must do in these times is to remember these are not normal times and it is God's desire for His people to be near Him for He is there with help and comfort. We must put our complete trust in God with confidence that He will and we know that He is able to deliver us from all anxieties and or troubles. Our scripture verse provides all the encouragement needed by stating that He is our refuge. Refuge is a place of shelter which protects from all danger as it provides security during the storms of life. Regarding "strength" it is God's might when we are battling life's storms, which also includes His power to work in us that enables us to conquer or overcome all of life's obstacles. If the question were raised, What is the end result? The end result is God is present and available to His people, but He wants us to call on Him for help in the time of need. He answers sincere faithful prayers. We need not fear for He is sufficient. The presence of an All Mighty God, what a blessing!
