"God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
Therefore we will not fear, even though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;"
Psalm 46:1-2 (NKJV)
When I was growing up, from time to time the television channels we received would run a test of what was called The Emergency Broadcast System. When these tests happened, an announcement would be made that a test was about to take place and this would be followed by a test signal, a tone. Once that was over there would be another announcement reminding everyone that this was only a test and if it had been an actual emergency further instructions would be given about what needed to be done. Because it was not an actual emergency there was nothing to worry about.
Everyone faces challenges in life, no one is exempt from this. We serve a wonderful, loving God, but this world is under the influence of sin and we will have problems. But, no matter what difficulty we may be confronted with, God is with us to help us. When we find ourselves in a difficult situation the devil will always tell us how bad things are and he will do everything that he can to persuade us that we are in a crisis that is too big, even for God to help us with. This is when it is good to remind ourselves that no matter what we face in life it is no surprise to God and nothing is too big for Him to help us with.
Regardless of what we may face, we can be confident that God has already been working to prepare us for it. Through His Word and by the Holy Spirit He will help us to overcome any negative situation. God is constantly working in our life to help us live the life Jesus provided for us, and when a problem arises we can be sure that God has either already equipped us to deal with it or the answer is on the way. If what we faced had been an actual emergency, then God would have already instructed us about what to do and further instructions would definitely be coming our way. No matter how bad things may look, we can trust that God is with us and He will always deliver us.
