To the choirmaster. Of the Sons of Korah. According to Alamoth. A Song. 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. Selah. 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. Selah. 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. Selah.
"Read Psalm 46 out loud. Read it again. Read it again and again till your soul melts under its truth and His Spirit remolds your hope, because there are things that are certain." Marty Schoenleber writing in the Chosen Rebel's blog "There are things that are certain" at http://tinyurl.com/ow3a94c
Join with me this week as we examine this precious expression of God's promises, seeking to make our hope (certain expectation), our faith, our trust, our commitment, our obedience, more firmly rooted in the rich soil of His love for His creation.
Yahwah, the I AM, the LORD, God the Almighty, has promised that He will never leave us nor forsake us. (Hebrews 13:5)
