A Very Present Help

December 28th, 2009 by Steve


Just been thinking about the verse of the day – you can see it by twittering “ votd” – Psa 46:1 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. (ESV)

Mischief maker

Getting into mischief

- and thinking about how often I am my own trouble. I’m an expert at causing all sorts of issues for myself, mostly because I ignore what is right in my quest for almost anything else. And yet, at the end of the day, when I realize how I’ve messed up yet again; when I’ve managed to prove to myself yet again that I can rocket off the straight and narrow path at a moment’s notice; when I recognize that I’m drowning – I am deeply grateful there is help at hand.

The danger, of course, is that we can take this help for granted. How are YOU doing?
