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!
He is our Heavenly Father!
Numbers 23:19 “God is not a man, that He should lie, Nor a son of man, that He should repent. Has He said, and will He not do? Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good?” Today, God reminds you that He honors His promises. In our experience, we most likely remember someone that promised us something, yet they failed to honor their promise. I have also heard some call God, “the man upstairs.” He is not a “man” who is subject to failure and deceit. We need to honor God with the greatest respect that we can muster. He is not a “mere” man. He is Almighty God, worthy of all praise and glory! And finally, tomorrow is Father’s Day. We take time out to honor fathers in this nation, but remember that God is our Heavenly Father, and He loves us with an eternal love, so make sure you get out to church tomorrow and honor your “Heavenly Father.”
Happy Father’s Day!
