#276 No More Re-Runs! Psalm 46.1
“Rehearsing your troubles results in experiencing them many times, whereas you are meant to go through them only when they actually occur. Do not multiply your suffering in this way!
Instead, come to Me, and relax in my peace.” Sarah Young
By this method of thinking I have been sued by various of our employees thousands of times!
Dear Lord, how do I learn to live in the present moment with Your present help as my present resource?
In temptation all we see is the moment without God.
In dealing with fear and anxiety all we see is the future without God.
In dealing with regret and guilt all we see is the past without God.
We need to see God in the past the present and the future, and be riveted in the present WITH Him.
Rivet yourself in the present moment and in My presence with Gratitude. Philippians 4:6-7; Psalm 100:4-5
Focus on the Holy Facts of Who God Is, not on imagination or assumption. 2 Corinthians 10:4-5
“Be strong and courageous! Do not tremble or be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.” Joshua 1:9
We can only be in one place at a time, and where we are in the present moment is where He has promised to be.
“God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.” Psalm 46:1
The help we need is in this moment. And He is in this moment with us.
He is very near to our need.
He us “abundantly available for help in tight places”! (margin of NASB)
“For what nation is there that has a god so near to it as is the LORD our God whenever we call on Him?” Deuteronomy 4:7
“Trust in the LORD forever, for in God the LORD, we have an everlasting Rock.” Isaiah 26:4 He is our continual stability, faithful throughout time. He is trustable in every present moment from ages past to eternity.
As we trust Him in the present moment He IS OUR REFUGE, a protection from reruns of a fearful imagination.
