PSALM 46:1
“God is my refuge and strength and ever present help in trouble.”
I choose this verse because it shows me that God is all around us and that He shields me from all danger and helps me when I need Him. This verse cheers me up when I look at it. I am reminded that no matter what happens God will still love, care and protect me. JOHN 3:16, “For God so loved the world that He gave us his only begotten son that whosoever believes in him will not perish but have everlasting life,” shows us that God loves us so much that not only did He send down His only son, Jesus Christ, to die for all our sins, but also that He protects us from everything that will try to harm us. He gives us strength when we feel weak. He forgives me and tucks me in His loving and supporting arms. I look at this verse whenever I am feeling down and lonely and I feel comforted. I am reminded that God is there to help me, that He protects me and He is there to be a shoulder to lean on when I think I cannot go on by myself. That He is there for me forever no matter what happens or what I have done and will always be. People can not face this world alone. Everybody needs somebody and God reminds us, through this verse that He can and will help us through difficult problems that may be in our path. He does this because He loves us and wants to protect us from being taken over by evil and our own sinful nature.
