Encouraging Words From The Book Of Psalms

 

At times in life when we come up against challenges or are at a place where it is time to step out, we soon realize that we really are not in control of our lives, but that Someone with far great power and wisdom is.

 

As we look at Psalm 46 we can see who that Someone is and that is God… take a moment to read the entire chapter of Psalm 46.

 

God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear though the earth gives way, though the mountains be moved into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam, though the mountains tremble at its swelling. 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 her; she shall not be moved; God will help her when morning dawns. The nations rage, the kingdoms totter; he utters his voice, the earth melts. The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress. Come, behold the works of the Lord, how he has brought desolations on the earth. He makes wars cease to the end of the earth; he breaks the bow and shatters the spear; he burns the chariots with fire. "Be still, and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!" The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress (Psalms 46).

 

Let us not faint, but hope always...

 

God will be exalted among the nations, we must be still with full confidence in His might—He is a present help and a faithful refuge.

 

Therefore we will not fear…
