"God is our refuge, He is our strength"

Remember that God is our refuge, He is our strength, so we should not fear, no matter what happens!

Psalm 46:1-3

1) God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

2) Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;

3) Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah.

God is reminding us to be still and know that He is God and know that He is in control and know that He will provide and He will make a way.

It’s in God that we can find our true security, no matter what happens, in any aspect of our life.

One quality which characterizes a true believer is the great calm he/she maintains under every circumstance.

Whatever may happen around them or however much they may be provoked, they accept it all calmly and exhibits an unmovable nature.

The true believer, is one who is able to regulate there every feeling, because there emotion has been yielded to the cross and there will and spirit are permeated with the power of the Holy Spirit.

Jesus', said in,

Luke 9:23 And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.

No extreme provocation has the strength to unsettle the true believer, because it's no longer about them.

Romans 12:1-2

1) I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.

2) And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

But if one has not accepted the dealing of the cross upon one's emotion, then they will be easily influenced, stimulated, disturbed, and even governed by the external world.

They will undergo constant change, for emotion shifts often.

The slightest threat shall upset them and render them helpless.

Whoever genuinely desires to be perfect must let the cross cut deeper into there emotion.

Psalm 46:10-11

10) Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.

11) The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.
