Psalm 46

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 desolation 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.

I memorized this Psalm last summer and have meditated on it since then. It displays the fearless trust that we can have in the Lord. How comforting to know that everything around us can be falling apart, but we can be secure because God is our refuge. I love the last verse. I have trouble being still, yet there is nothing I can do to help Him, He is GOD! Such a great reminder for me to focus on resting in Him and knowing Him better. Just be still and let Him work...


Highlights of the week: a new haircut for Emma, a new phone for me (I can actually text now), shoes to go with my bridesmaid dress on sale for $12, Noah's nine month check-up, and starting a new healthy living program through work. The next few weekends are filled with bridal showers for Kyli and I'm excited!!
