Present Help

Psalms 46:1 KJV
God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

King David was not only a psalmist and poet but a prophet as well.

Psalms 45-46 are unquestionably prophetic and dealing with the destruction of this earth and the heavens and the creation of the new heaven and earth. It sounds very much like the last two chapters of Revelation. The application for the Christian is that in that day God will be a very present help and we have no need then to fear it.

Religion has developed a present tense mentality which has overcome churches. People inside and out make the responsibility of both Christianity and God Himself to be relevant to present and personal needs.

The fact is we must not bow to this self centered religion but proclaim boldly what is
• The plan of God for the future
• The need of man in its view and therefore
• The purpose of and the good of God's churches

Our need is future. Our true concern relates to the end of this world. We will be glad when the earth melts and we are saved in the presence of the Lord.
