Psalm 46

As I read Psalm 46, I found it interesting that in verse 1, the Psalmist says that God is our strength and refuge, out help in time of trouble. Verse 2 starts with I will not fear....that sounds quite normal not to fear when God is my strength, refuge and help in time of trouble.

But wait...listen to the circumstances where we do not fear...the earth is removed, the mountains are carried into the sea, the waters roar, and the mountains shake. This does not appear to be a peaceful situation. Sounds like earthquakes, tsunamis, catastrophes beyond imagination. Verse 6 states that the earth melted at the voice of God. Verse 8 says God has made the desolations of the earth.

Then comes the the answer in verse 10 and 11 says "Be still and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations...The Lord of Hosts is with us."

How can we be still when the world around us is raging and collapsing? The answer lies in knowing God. Knowing who God is. A relationship. Not an on/off relationship, but a daily constant walk with God. We will only know Him if we spend time with Him. Find the time to be with Him, that is an investment.

God is so good.

God bless you
