God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah. There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the most High. God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her, and that right early. The heathen raged, the kingdoms were moved: he uttered his voice, the earth melted. The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah. Come, behold the works of the LORD, what desolations he hath made in the earth. He maketh wars to cease unto the end of the earth; he breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear in sunder; he burneth the chariot in the fire. Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth. The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah. Psalm 46
I have a sign with this verse in my living room where I can see it all the time because I so often need this reminder to calm down. Looking at the words in their context just now, I don’t think it ever dawned on me the description of such chaos and crisis in which they are found. No matter what is happening in your life today, BE STILL AND KNOW!
A great reminder and a true testimony to the peace that Jesus left us when He returned to the Father. How different our lives would be if we would be calm in the midst of the storm.
