God Is Our Place Of Safety

 

God is our place of safety. He gives us strength. He is always there to help us in times of trouble. The earth may fall apart. The mountains may fall into the middle of the sea. But we will not be afraid. The waters of the sea may roar and foam. The mountains may shake when the waters rise. But we will not be afraid. Selah


God's blessings are like a river. They fill the city of God with joy. That city is the holy place where the Most High God lives. Because God is there, the city will not fall. God will help it at the beginning of the day. Nations are in disorder. Kingdoms fall. God speaks, and the people of the earth melt in fear. The Lord who rules over all is with us. The God of Jacob is like a fort to us. Selah

 
Come and see what the Lord has done. See the places he has destroyed on the earth. He makes wars stop from one end of the earth to the other. He breaks every bow. He snaps every spear. He burns every shield with fire. He says, "Be still, and know that I am God. I will be honored among the nations. I will be honored in the earth." The Lord who rules over all is with us. The God of Jacob is like a fort to us. Selah

 

Psalm 46:1-11

 

It is very hard to try and relax. Trying and relaxing don’t seem to fit together. In our relationship with Christ, we may find ourselves not pressing for God’s purposes but for our own interests. In those moments, the hardest thing to do is “try and relax” and genuinely trust God for the outcome of life’s trials.

 

We must be still and know that God is God.

 

God knows the future, so we are safe in His hands.
