The Bible states that God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1).
Psalm 46 emphasizes that God is our refuge, signifying that He is a safe haven for those in trouble. The psalmist describes Him as not only a refuge but also our strength and a very present help in times of difficulty. This assurance highlights the believer's dependence on God during trials; He provides both safety and the strength necessary to endure. As stated in Psalm 18:1, the Lord is our rock and fortress, illustrating His role as a protector and giver of strength in our lives. Trusting in God as our refuge allows us to find peace and security amidst life's challenges.
