The God Who Stands With Us

Date: December 6, 2025

Scripture Reading: Psalm 46:7

“The Lord Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress.”

Psalm 46 offers powerful reassurance to hearts that feel overwhelmed or uncertain. In a world that often shakes, God remains steady. The psalmist reminds us that the Lord Almighty — the One with unmatched power, authority, and rule — is not far away. He is with us. His presence is not passive; it strengthens, protects, and stabilizes us when everything around us feels unstable.

Calling Him “the God of Jacob” is intentional. Jacob’s life was marked by uncertainty, struggle, and moments of deep fear. Yet God was faithful to him at every turn. This same God — patient, protective, and unfailing — is the One who stands with us today. His character does not shift with our circumstances. His presence doesn’t fade when life becomes difficult. He is our fortress, the place where we find safety and courage.

When pressures rise or fear begins to whisper, this verse anchors us in truth. God is both near and strong. He defends what belongs to Him. He surrounds us with His care. And He invites us to take refuge in Him rather than in our own understanding or ability.

Main Takeaways

• God is present with His people, offering strength and stability.
