God serves as our strength by empowering us and providing help during our times of trouble (Psalm 46:1).
In Psalm 46, God is described as both our refuge and strength, indicating that He is a source of power for believers amidst adversity. This strength is not found within ourselves but is derived from our reliance on God. When we face life's challenges, God empowers us through His Spirit, enabling us to endure hardships with grace and courage. As believers, acknowledging our weakness and turning to God allows us to draw on His limitless strength, which is crucial for navigating difficulties. 2 Corinthians 12:9 encapsulates this idea well: 'My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.' Thus, in our times of trouble, we find not only refuge but also the divine strength needed to persevere.
