The Lord Almighty is with us!!
What a beautiful reminder in Psalm 46 that God is with us. He is our refuge. He is our shelter. He is our help. Let us not fear for our Lord God Almighty is powerful and with His voice….. He has power to melt the earth. Just with His voice, He commands the earth to melt. There is POWER in His voice. When He speaks, He controls all things under His command. When we are faced with troubles and need strength to make it another day, He has the POWER to give us the strength we need to face our circumstances. When we are uncertain of what lies ahead, we can find shelter in knowing He has all things under His perfect plan. When we are fearful, we can rest assured that He has the POWER to drive away our fear and bring us peace and love to comfort us. We know all these things for He promises to “be with us”!! Why should we fear, when we know the all-powerful God is actually with us? When we need strength, our all-powerful God gives us strength because He is with us!! When we are uncertain of what tomorrow may bring, we know we can face tomorrow because Our God is with us!!!
Help us to always remember that God is with us!! Giving us strength, giving us courage, giving us love, giving us wisdom, giving us help because He walks with us throughout every day! Helps us to remember we are not alone but we have the Heavenly Father walking beside us and holding our right hand providing us with what we need.
Psalm 46
1 God is our refuge and strength,
an ever-present help in trouble.
2 Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way
and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea,
3 though its waters roar and foam
and the mountains quake with their surging.[c]
4 There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God,
the holy place where the Most High dwells.
5 God is within her, she will not fall;
God will help her at break of day.
6 Nations are in uproar, kingdoms fall;
he lifts his voice, the earth melts.
7 The Lord Almighty is with us;
the God of Jacob is our fortress.
8 Come and see what the Lord has done,
the desolations he has brought on the earth.
9 He makes wars cease
to the ends of the earth.
He breaks the bow and shatters the spear;
he burns the shields[d] with fire.
10 He says, “Be still, and know that I am God;
I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth.”
11 The Lord Almighty is with us;
the God of Jacob is our fortress.
