Week of October 26, 2008, Psalm 46
One of the Scriptures for Sunday is Psalm 46 – a great psalm reminding us that God is always with us, especially during the hard times, and that one of the hardest things to do when times are tough is to be still, to be quiet before God – to rest in God’s presence. 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.
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 the works of the LORD, 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 with fire.
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.
Heavenly Father, You are our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. So, Lord, help us not to fear or be afraid during these tough times that we face – whether financial, personal, relational, health, or whatever may be thrown our way, for we know that You are with us. You are the Lord Almighty, our great fortress and strength.
You remind us, Lord, to rest in Your presence, with Your word as our guide, Your love to remind us to love and share with others. But when we are so distracted by things around us, it’s hard to concentrate or focus on You, the strength that You so readily give. So, help us, Lord, to give You all of ourselves – every part of who we are, and let Your Spirit work in and through us in all that we do. For You are the Lord Almighty, always with us, our great fortress.
Thanks, Jesus, for Your presence with us always. Amen.
May the Lord bless you as you go on your way. May He go before you to show you the way. May He go behind you to encourage you. May He go beside you to guide and befriend you. May He always be above you to watch over you. And may He be within you to give you peace.
In the name of the Father and of the Son of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
