2015 Advent Devotions (12/10/15)

12/10/2015 Thursday
Psalm 46:1-7      A Song Trust in God
Have you heard and or even said yourself, “God help me!” or today’s favorite expression “OMG” which is asking for God’s help when we are hurting or frightened by occurences in the news. This is the reaction of most people. Even those who claim they don’t believe in God use these expressions probably not even realizing that they are looking to God for answers. God sees us through storms, tornados, hurricanes and other violent weather scenarios but He is also there for our personal troubles. We can and do turn to Him as our refuge and strength. When a family member is in need of comfort and we as individuals or as a church ask for God’s help He is there. Not always giving us the answwers we woud like but supporting us with comfort and the strength to carry on. As a country we acknowledge God’s help and turn to Him when in the Pledge of Allegiance we use the phrase “under God.” We turn to Him when we need strength and He is there, but let us remember to give thanks for all the support we get.
Heavenly Father, we thank you for being our refuge and strength as ask that you continue to be there for all who need you, whether they believe in you or not. In Jesus’ name. Amen
