Text: Psalm 46:1-10 NLT
Pastor Tom Cogle
Sunday, December 6, 2020
Psalm 46 was written at a time of national turmoil.
The Assyrian army was preparing to destroy Jerusalem and all the people living inside.
“He is our ever-present help in time of trouble.”
Ever Present: nimsa meod
• nimsa—to be discovered, to be experienced.
• meod—exceedingly abundant, exceedingly much, muchness
“In times of trouble God overflows with His exceedingly abundant protection, provision, and strength.”
Our God is exactly what you need when you need Him.
And He is so much more!
The goodness of God, which cannot be explained must be experienced.
“Be still, and know that I am God.”
There are some battles that only God can win and He can only fight them for you as you become quiet and relaxed.
Our God is big enough to oversee the whole world. And He’s loving enough to care about the intimate details in your life.
God sent one angel and destroyed the Assyrian army.
WHAT DO YOU NEED GOD TO DO FOR YOU?
Our God is exactly what you need and so much more!
THAT’S THE GOOD NEWS THAT NO ONE IS REPORTING!
