This sermon encourages us to turn to and trust in God always, especially in times of trouble.
The psalmist first encourages us to trust in who God is. God is the refuge, strength, and very present help of his people. He has always been and will always be! Therefore, if we know and apply this truth to our life the outcome is astonishing. We will not fear not matter what seismic and devastating troubles we face in life.
We are then encouraged to trust that God provides for his people. He continually provides spiritual life and nourishment through providing them with his very presence. The outcome being that we should have supreme confidence and security in life. No matter how great our troubles are that we face our God is mightier and stronger helping us through.
Finally, we are encouraged to trust that God will be exalted. This is the inevitable outcome of trusting in who God is and that he will provide. We cannot do anything other than yield and submit our focus to how amazing God! As we do this, we are reminded that this is the purpose of life, that God would be exalted and glorified across the whole earth.
Lord, help us to trust in you always, and as we do help us to worship you enthusiastically for the glorious unique God you are.
