How do you feel when you are in a tight place? How do you feel when you are in an elevator that is crowded with people? Do you hate that closed in feeling when you are in a tight place? In real life, we go through many tight places and we really do not like that feeling. I know that I would rather be in a place of comfort, and ease.
The reality is we live in a world that is hard and difficult. Counselors tells people that they live with hopelessness, stress, vulnerability and depression. We live in those tight places and we wonder if there is any way out.
Psalm 46:1 - "God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in the time of trouble."
In the margin of the New American Standard Bible it says - "God is abundantly available for help in tight places." How many of us need to realize that today!
Psalm 46:2 - "Therefore we will not fear." We do not need to be fearful, panic, talk defeat, or give into despair." How many remember that old song - "He's as close as the mention of His name." God is with us in the tight places.
Psalm 46:3 - "Let the oceans roar...let the mountains tremble." When everything you once thought was stable and dependable, and are beginning to shake, rattle and roll. Realize that you will be in the strong and loving arms of the Lord.
Remember - God is abundantly available to help in tight places!!!!
Amen!
