PSALM Will Witness And Be Still...

Psalm 46 reminded me of the song ‘Still’ by Hillsongs. Indeed I will be still even when the earth gives way and know that God is my fortress. I am always encouraged to know that God is our refuge and our strength, an ever-present help in trouble.

This semester has been tough for me but I am glad that even through this stormy season, God has always been there to help me, to make sure that I do not stumble. In the stillness of my heart, I know that there is no one like Him.

How great is our God? You have to witness the works of God to know how great He is. As said in v8, ‘come and see the works of the LORD’.
For ‘He makes wars cease to the ends of the earth; he breaks the bow and shatters the spear, he burns the shields with fire.’
When nations are in uproar and when kingdoms fall, He only needs to lift His voice and the earth will melt.

Would you put your trust in God today? For if He can make the earth melt just by lifting His voice, wouldn’t it be even much easier for Him to help you with the troubles you are facing with?
For the key idea of psalm 46 is found in v7 and11, that ‘the Lord Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress.’ Just like 7 Eleven, God is always watching over us 24/7 and know that He never slumbers. In Him we will find our sense of security, in Him we find our strength. When you put your hope in God, He will never let you go…through it all.

Be still, and know that He is God…
