The Present God

Psalms 46:1

God is our refuge and strength, an ever present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea, though the waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with their surging.

 

Often times we think of God as a supernatural being who lives in a far away land because you can't see Him nor reach to touch Him; the best you can do is just believe that He is present. I have learn't something though; that what you and i think are only our thoughts and God says that He is bigger than our thoughts--we cannot contain who God is in our thoughts:)

The Psalmist talks about a God who is ever present in times of trouble. I believe that David said this out of experience and not just out of the blue. Because through out his life he saw God come through for him time and time again. When we go through times of trouble it's easy to get covered up in the overwhelming waves of trouble and begin to think that God has either forsaken us or just forgotten us yet He says that He will never leave nor forsake us.

As i meditate upon this word today my conclusion can only boil down to one thing we've got to trade our thoughts for His word so we can experience the present God in our lives! We need to come to a place where our thoughts or feelings do not dictate who God is in our lives because He is beyond our own reasoning and comprehension. Refuse to allow your thoughts to determine God's position in your life and instead take God at His word and believe that He is present in all things and at all times because He is and will always be the ever present God!
