God is our refuge and strength, always ready
to help in times of trouble. So we will not fear when earthquakes come and the
mountains crumble into the sea. Let the oceans roar and foam. Let the mountains
tremble as the waters surge! A river brings joy to the city of our God, the
sacred home of the Most High. God dwells in that city; it cannot be destroyed.
From the very break of day, God will protect it. The nations are in chaos, and
their kingdoms crumble! God's voice thunders, and the earth melts! The LORD of
Heaven's Armies is here among us; the God of Israel is our fortress. Interlude
Come, see the glorious works of the LORD: See how he brings destruction upon
the world. He causes wars to end throughout the earth. He breaks the bow and
snaps the spear; he burns the shields with fire. Be still, and know that I am God!
I will be honored by every nation. I will be honored throughout the world. The
LORD of Heaven's Armies is here among us; the God of Israel is our fortress. Psalm
46:1-11
God
is our refuge and strength, always ready to help in time of trouble….Be still,
and know that I am God! Such reassuring words. God is always there for us. Everyone
has a time of trouble…everyone—sometime—somewhere—to some extent. Big problems
or just little problems. They still are troubles with which we must cope. But
the beauty of it is God is there for us—to help us or just be there. How does
one get in touch with God? Do we have to
die to see the Lord?

| The calm Sea of Galilee. Be Calm. |
Be calm and know that God IS God. He is all
powerful, omniscient, omnipresent.
The LORD himself will fight for you. Just
stay calm. Exodus 14:14
For the LORD your God is living among you.
He is a mighty savior. He will take delight in you with gladness. With his
love, he will calm all your fears. He will rejoice over you with joyful songs. Zephaniah 3:17
He will take delight in you. Stay calm…be
calm. You will find Him in His Word…read the Bible. Listen. Listen for a still
small voice. That could be the Holy Spirit guiding you, but search for those
words in His Word. He will give you peace…His peace.
Prayer ~ Dear Lord, as the Israelites were
being chased into the Red Sea when they left Egypt, …Moses told the people,
"Don't be afraid. Just stand still and watch the LORD rescue you today.
The Egyptians you see today will never be seen again. The LORD himself will fight
for you. Just stay calm." Exodus 14:13-14. We won’t be afraid—You are
always with us. You promised to never leave us or forsake us (Deuteronomy 32:6)
and that even the Holy Spirit would never leave us (John 14:16). Thank you for
those promises. I will be still and listen for Your voice…as I read Your Word
and rest in Your peace and strength. You will be honored throughout the world.
Happy
94st Birthday, Auntie Merc!
May
our Lord continue to bless you! Be Still and Know that He IS God!
