As humans, we were created in God’s image, and as believers, He has given us great authority by His grace. Genesis 1: 26 -27 26 “And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth”. We were the only creations that were created in His image. Psalm 115:16 (NIV1984) says: “The highest heavens belong to the LORD, but the earth he has given to man.” We are His stewards here on earth! Hebrews 2:7 (AMP) says: “You have made him for a little while lower [in status] than the angels; You have crowned him with glory and honor, And set him over the works of Your hands” this means that your prayers, your faith, your words and your testimony are powerful tools in the hand of God. Once you get that, you will stop allowing the enemy to deceiving you into thinking that you are worthless and powerless. Greater is He that is within you than he that is in the world!
He is your present help and strength!
One of the main debates that are front and center in the national discourse today has to do with the environment. Many say that due to global warming, the earth will soon go through cataclysmic changes. Whether that is true or not, there are always horrible earthquakes, hurricanes, tornados, tsunamis and other dangerous weather patterns in diverse regions that are capable of destroying entire cities and taking many lives. King David declared that ultimately, our only real, effective help comes God. When these frightful moments occur, nothing on earth help might able to help you. But I’ve heard how God has supernaturally protected His people, even in the midst of seemingly impossible circumstances. Here is what King David said: “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; Though its waters roar and be troubled, Though the mountains shake with its swelling. Selah” Psalm 46: 1-3. Right now, you might be in a situation that is seemingly impossible to resolve. Today God wants to remind you that He is your refuge and strength. He is present with you in your time of trouble. He is in the boat with you in the midst of the storm. He tells you today that you and Him TOGETHER will reach the other side! Be at peace…..He is your strong tower and anchor. You will not be moved!
