The verse I chose is
PSALM 46:1,
“God is our refuge and strength, an ever present help in trouble.”
I chose this verse because it tells me that whenever I’m in trouble or need help God is with me. God is watching over me everywhere I go. This verse has a special meaning to me because I know that God is protecting me all the time and especially when I am in trouble or need help. For example, when I was little I was playing in a river and if nobody was there watching me, I would have drowned. I was sliding down some rocks and I fell in a hole and the currents were pushing me under water and I couldn’t get out. God made sure that my dad was watching me so he could help me.
This verse reminds me of God’s love, joy, and forgiveness in Jesus Christ. It reminds me of God’s love because if He didn’t love us He wouldn’t help and protect us. It reminds me of forgiveness because He forgives us when we repent, but it is good to know that He watches over us even when we have not repented. This verse reminds me of joy because it makes me joyful when I know that God is always watching over me.
I was looking in the Bible and there were some notes at the bottom of the page about
PSALM 46.
They said that Martin Luther must have been inspired when he read that chapter because he wrote the hymn,
“A Mighty Fortress is Our God,”
and based it on that chapter.
This is my favorite verse because I know that God is always watching over me as my Protector.
