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

In the storms that life brings our way, we often find ourselves searching for stability and strength. The world around us can sometimes feel like it's falling apart, like the ground beneath us is shifting. Yet, in these moments of uncertainty, we can turn to the unchanging and unwavering source of our strength, our refuge—God.

Our current situation in our church may be challenging and marked by unexpected changes. But in moments like these, we are reminded of Psalm 46:1-3, which declares that God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.

Understanding that God's strength is not dependent upon our circumstances is essential. His power remains constant, even when our situations are in turmoil. In our weakness, we can lean into His strength. As we face the challenges of these times, remember that God is with us, and His strength is available.

What does it mean to find strength in uncertain times? It means turning to God in prayer, seeking His guidance and comfort. It means meditating on His Word, finding solace and wisdom in the promises and stories found in the Bible. It means leaning on the support of our faith community, for we are not alone in our struggles.

When we trust in God's strength and make Him our refuge, we can face uncertainty with a different perspective. Instead of succumbing to fear and anxiety, we can stand firm in faith, knowing that God is in control. He will carry us through the storms, and His presence will be our peace.

Dear Church, let's pray today, asking God to be our refuge and strength. May you find comfort in His presence and courage in His unfailing love.
