A Very Present Help


It is beyond difficult to say good-bye to someone you love.  At the end of the day, we make a choice to let go and trust  . . .  that there is more . . . a real place . . . a whole new dimension of life . . . heaven.  
Even so.  
There is a storm of sorrow when we let go. 
But . . . we are not left alone . . . God is a very present help in the storm.
  God is our refuge and strength,
         A very present help in trouble. Psalm 46:1
We will survive the storm because God is a very present help.
Therefore we will not fear, though the earth should change
         And though the mountains slip into the heart of the sea. Psalm 46:2
We will not fear, even when it seems we have lost everything because God is a very present help.
Though its waters roar and foam,
         Though the mountains quake at its swelling pride. Selah. Psalm 46:3
We will endure, even when the storm rages on because God is a very present help.
There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God, The holy dwelling places of the Most High.  Psalm 46:4
We will see there is more . . . a river whose streams make everyone glad . . . because God is a very present help.
 God is in the midst of her, she will not be moved;
         God will help her when morning dawns. Psalm 46:5
We can get through anything . . . because nothing will move us from God’s very present help.
"Cease striving and know that I am God;
         I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth." Psalm 46:10
God does not see anything as small or insignificant in our life . . . it all matters . . . know God is God and is a very present help.
Learning with you to KICK START the day . . . with God who is a very present help.
