Psalm 46

Psalm 46
God is our refuge and strength,
a very present help in trouble.
Therefore we will not fear,
though the earth should change,
though the mountains shake 
in the heart of the sea;
though its waters roar and foam,
though the mountains tremble with its tumult.
There is a river whose streams make
glad the city of God,
the holy habitation of the Most High.
God is in the midst of the city;
it shall not be moved;
God will help it when the morning dawns.
The nations are in an uproar,
the kingdoms totter;
he utters his voice, the earth melts.
The Lord of hosts is with us;
the God of Jacob is our refuge.
Come, behold the works of the Lord;
see what desolations he has brought on the earth.
He makes wars cease to the end of the earth;
he breaks the bow, and shatters the spear;
he burns the shields with fire.
"Be still, and know that I am God!
I am exalted among the nations,
I am exalted in the earth."
The Lord of hosts is with us;
the God of Jacob is our refuge.

This is my favorite Psalm. With so much chaos in this world and so much uncertainty, I find great comfort God is with us. I find peace knowing that He is my refuge and strength. He is holding this world in His hands and He will lead us and guide us. He will never forsake us.

So even if this earth should change, even if disaster strikes, I have no need to be afraid - because He is in control. He is our helper, a very present help in trouble. 

I will be still and behold His works.

I will be still and worship His grace and His creation.

I will be still in the knowledge of my salvation in His Son, Jesus Christ.

Today, and in the uncertain days ahead, let us cling to Him all the more. Let us be still. Let us rest in the hands of our powerful God.
