Psalm 46:1-3

"God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble".(Psalm 46:1)

…Keep this in mind always…God sets us apart,like He set apart the land of Goshen…read Exodus 8:23…God shifts the wind for His people…He changes bad things to work for good…The Lord our God fights on our behalf…We do not go through anything alone…When Moses stretched forth his hand as God commanded, a great darkness fell upon the land…the Egyptians lived in total darkness…but all the sons of Israel had light in their dwellings. We are kept in the light. (Grogan 107)God lights our way…God keeps us in perfect peace if our minds are stayed on Him…The Lord blesses us with His peace…His blessed peace…In your times of trouble seek out the Lord …in times of joy, forget Him not…He is ever present…Keep your line of communication open between God and you…Psalm 97:11 tell us that,"Light is sown for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart."…These are the promises you should hang on to when the going gets rough…these are the words that strengthen you…they carry you through the rough times…He tells us , He is crowning us with loving kindness, and tender mercies…His word tells us He will never leave us nor forsake us…What have we to fear?…He loves us…He keeps us safe…Remember your help comes from the Lord…He fights on our behalf…Be sure this is true… (Willmington 12)Start praising Him for His keeping power…Start praising Him for the answer you know is on it's way…Start acting on His word…Rejoice in victory…Amen…

But, He infuses us with His divine strength, and that makes no foe that we face too formidable. If God's Power could create the universe out of just nothing, then what obstacle do we have that could give Him a problem? (Holy Bible 50)

Then, the Scripture continues by saying that He is a very present help in trouble. Now, I know what a help is. I even know what a present help is, but what in the world is a "very present help"? I mean, either the help is present or it's absent. Right? Well, I began to reflect on some rules of grammar and I remembered that the word "very" is in the comparative degree and could be substituted with the word "more". So, I replaced very with more and ended up with "a more present help in trouble. Now, how can you be more present? (Willmington 12)Well, since it is in the comparative degree, it is comparing it's closeness to something else. What else is there in that scripture? The only thing that I can see is trouble! That means that God ...
