PSALMS 46:1-3,10-11
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.
10 "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.
I write this article today in hopes that it will encourage and strengthen you. I know that I need these words instruction and encouragement as much as you. My wife and I have and are going through hard times, and this scripture has come alive to us.
The Psalmist said, we will not fear. How many of you know this is easier said than done. We all struggle with fears and anxieties in our lives. The opposite to fear is faith. We are able to combat fear and anxieties through faith. Faith that God will protect us. Faith that God loves us. Faith that God knows what is best for us. Faith that God is in controll.
God says, be still and know that I am God. Be still means, don't be anxious. Be still means, not worrying. Be still mean, not having all the answers, but trusting God. Be still means, not trying to do things on your own, but waiting on God.
We can be still when:
- we know God is in control.
- we trust Him, knowing He will do what is best for us.
- we know he will accomplish His purpose in us and through us.
- we have faith that the Lord almighty is with us.
THE LORD WILL BE EXALTED & HIS PURPOSES WILL BE ACCOMPLISHED
