“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!
