“Be
Still, And Know That I Am God”
God
is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.
Therefore
we will not fear, though the earth give way and the
mountains fall into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam and
the mountains quake with their surging.
There
is a river whose streams make glad the city of God, the holy place where the
Most High dwells.
God
is within her, she will not fall; God will help her at break of day.
Nations
are in uproar, kingdoms fall; he lifts his voice, the earth melts.
The
Lord Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress.
Come
and see what the Lord has done, the desolations he has brought on the earth.
He
makes wars cease to the ends of the earth. He breaks the bow and shatters the
spear; he burns the shields with fire.
He
says, “Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I
will be exalted in the earth.”
The
Lord Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress.
Psalm 46:1-11
Do
not be astounded when God sends someone to help you. God is always present in
our danger and trouble. He helps us by giving us grace to endure. He gives us
His Word to sustain us, friends to encourage and pray for us, and the
confidence that He will ultimately work it all together for our spiritual good.
Next
time you feel stranded along life’s road, look for your Helper.
Rejoice! Your God is a helping King!
