God is our help. How amazing is that? The Bible tells us so many times that we can rely on God. If we’ve put our trust in Jesus, we can know that He is always with us (Matthew 28:20). In Deuteronomy 31:6 and then again in Hebrews 13:5-6, we are told that God will never leave us. Never. He is always on our side. In 1 John 4:4, we are reminded that God is great, and He is in us through the Holy Spirit. He is far greater than those in the world. He is bigger than our enemies and anything that we could face. God is our help when we are in trouble. God is our help when we have decisions to make. God is our help every day. So many Bible passages talk about the way God cares for us, and the Holy Spirit reminds us that He will continue to take care of us. Whenever we are afraid, we can cling to God. In times when everything seems to be falling apart in our lives, we can find comfort in God’s words to us, like Psalm 46, which begins, God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. God, the Creator of the universe, is our help. God, the One who can do anything, decided to create us. And love us. And die for us. He loves us with an everlasting love (Jeremiah 31:3), and not even death can keep Him from saving us. Jesus, our loving God, rose from the dead. We can rely on God to be our help. Always. Bethany Acker Do you have a favorite Bible verse that reminds you God is your help? If not, do any of the verses mentioned above resonate with you? Why or why not? How do you need God’s help today? (Remember, we never have to feel bad for needing help. In fact, God WANTS us to come to Him for help.) You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world. 1 John 4:4 (NIV)
