Psalm 46:1 God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.
The Christian never has to “go it alone.” Our God in all three Persons – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit – are said in Scripture to provide help when needed. The Old Testament reveals God as One who equips and provides for those He calls and sends. Jesus is help incarnate as He ministers and ultimately offers Himself as our atoning sin sacrifice. The Holy Spirit in John 14:26 is called a helper, comforter, advocate, and counselor. Hebrews 13:6 says, “The Lord is my helper…”
William Gurnall wrote, “Every believer may boldly say, ‘God will help’ not ‘perhaps He will.’ We may boldly assert it before men and devils because the Almighty said it. Our obedience and comfort become strong or weak according to our faith in this principle…No act of faith so strengthens us for duty as our belief that God’s almighty power is engaged for our assistance.”
Marvelous is the saint’s divine help for it manifests as the right type in the right manner at the right time in the right amount.
