Unshaken in Trust

Psalm 46:1 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

Psalm 54:4 Surely God is my help; the Lord is the one who sustains me.

God is an ever present help in times of trouble. As Christians, we should not remain despondent in trials and tribulation, when we have this kind of reassurance from God. He is Immanuel, God with us (Matthew 1:23; 28:20). When we are in relationship with God and yield to His will, He is faithful to protect and preserve us from harm. He knows all and plans for our good (Jeremiah 29:11). Instead of hanging our head in despair, we should recognize the hope and power we have in Jesus Christ. cc

When we worry and don’t trust God, we focus on ourselves and do not see the people around us, who are in need. The song composed by Steve Green urges us to see them like this:

Every day they pass me by
I can see it in their eyes
Empty people filled with care
Headed who knows where?

On they go through private pain
Living fear to fear
Laughter hides their silent cries
Only Jesus hears

Refrain: People need the Lord
People need the Lord
At the end of broken dreams
He's the open door
People need the Lord
People need the Lord
When will we realize
People need the Lord?

We are called to take His light
To a world where wrong seems right
What could be too great a cost
For sharing life with one who's lost?

Through His love our hearts can feel
All the grief they bear
They must hear the words of life
Only we can share

Refrain: People need the Lord
People need the Lord
At the end of broken dreams
He's the open door
People need the Lord
People need the Lord
When will we realize
People need the Lord?
