God is our refuge and strength, A very present help in trouble. Ps46.1 NKJV
Peace, perfect peace will guard the heart of those who fix their thoughts on this singular truth. God is a very present help in trouble. The next verse seeks to amplify the word trouble and at the same time it magnifies the great value of bringing these words into the forefront of our thoughts. “Therefore we will not fear, Even though the earth be removed…” These words seem to be beyond reach. Is there really nothing to fear if God is my help? We are assured that this is the case. We are also assured that apart of the help that will come to us, will be His help to help us rest in His help. In other words, we come to trust Christ, to help us trust Christ. Perhaps this is why Scripture calls it “the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding.”
