THE CALVARY MINISTRY - ONLINE THE CROSS OF CALVARY 🙏🏼 TUESDAY 23RD JUNE, 2026 📜```TEXT: PSALM 46:1-11```📜 🔑📖```KEY VERSE:``` "God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble" (PSALM 46:1). Psalm 46 was written for times when the earth shakes. Mountains move, waters roar, nations rage — yet the psalmist declares, “we will not fear.” Why? Because God is not distant. He is “a very present help in trouble.” He is not a last resort; He is a present refuge. At Calvary, that truth was sealed in blood. The veil tore, and access to God’s presence became our inheritance. Three truths from our refuge: One, God is our hiding place. “God is our refuge.” When life is loud, His presence is a quiet place to run. You don’t have to face the storm alone. Two, God is our strength. “God is our… strength.” He doesn’t just shelter you; He fortifies you. The same power that raised Christ from the grave lives in you (Rom. 8:11). Three, God is present in trouble. “A very present help.” He doesn’t show up late. Even when you can’t feel Him, He is working. “Be still, and know that I am God” (verse 10). Stillness is trust in motion. Is your world shaking this Tuesday? Bills, bad news, battles in your mind? Don’t panic in the noise. Run into your Refuge. Hide in His Word, lean on His strength, and rest in His presence. The Cross made Him near. The waters may roar, but you will not be moved with God within you. Prayer Lord my Refuge, I run to You this morning. When trouble rises, be my hiding place. When I am weak, be my strength. When fear speaks loud, let Your voice be louder: “Be still, and know that I am God.” Hold me steady when the ground shakes. Let Your river of peace flow through my heart and my home. Go before me today and show Yourself strong on my behalf, in Jesus’ name. Amen. May the Lord be your refuge and strength today. May His presence calm every storm, His power break every chain, and His peace rule your heart through Christ Jesus our Lord. Amen. 🙏🏼
