Psalm 46:5

Psalm 46:5 - "God is within her, she will not fall; God will help her at the break of day." 

  

Being a counselor, I'm all about "embracing the feels." So, I'm just gonna let that verse soak in for a minute. God is with ME. I will NOT fall. God will help ME. Not only will He help me today, but when I wake up tomorrow, He will be there again. (*insert goosebumps and praise hands emoji*)

Throughout Psalm 46, I am reminded of who God is. God is: my refuge, my strength, ever-present, and helpful. It's so easy to forget those things when my world seems to be crashing down - whether it be because I don't want to work out or because my clients were more difficult than expected. I tend to get caught up in my own abilities and solutions, often causing more destruction than construction. That's when God steps in. He comes along side me and gently reminds me to lean on Him, for He is strength. He reminds me that even in the most uncomfortable sessions with clients, He is present and working. He helps me push through my first/last quarter mile of my workout (and brings me back the next day to do it again). He is so much more than I could ever be.
But, take heart! Even being so mighty and wonderful, He chooses me. He chooses to be with me each and every morning and guide my steps. 

It's only by the grace of God that I have made it this far in life. I am currently pursuing what I consider to be my dream job (after of course being a professional backup dancer) and I know it's because He has been, and will always be, with me through it all. Through every "fall" I feel like I've had, He has picked me back up and pushed me forward. Through it all, He has helped me each day to continue to do His will. 
Although I love the spotlight, today, I must step aside and give God all the glory for where I am, what I get to do every day, and where He is leading me. Without him, I am nothing. 

Thanks, God, for being with me and not allowing me to fall. You rock!
