God is our refuge and strength...Psalm 46

In the current time and situation of all that is happening nowadays, when it appears that our world is in turmoil, remember God's plan for our life stays the same and will not change regardless of circumstances as long as we trust and obey Him, when we feel trapped and can see no way out.

Look at what Psalm 46 is saying to remind us of when we are going through difficult times in or beyond our control, starting at verse 1. God is our refuge and strength a very present help in trouble. 

Verse 2. Therefore we will not fear, even though the earth be removed and though the mountains be carried out into the midst of the sea. 

Verse 3. Though it's waters roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with it's swelling.

Verse 4. There is a river who's streams shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacle of the most high.  

Here the river is a symbolism of God's daily provision for our needs, and representing His power when all other sources of supply seems to have dried up, do not fear look to the river of God which never runs dry. 

Verse 5. God is in the midst of her, she shall not be moved, God shall help her just at the break of dawn

A symbol of new beginnings giving us confidence that beyond a time of trouble and testing, a new day is at hand.  

They are new every morning, great is His faithfulness. (Lamentation 3:23)

Verse 6. The nations rage the kingdoms are moved He utters His voice the earth melted.

This should remind us of His mighty awesome power that builds our faith.

Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever (Hebrews 13:8).

Verse 7. The Lord almighty is with us the God of Jacob is our fortress.

Verse 8. Come and see what the Lord has done, the desolations he has brought on the earth.

Verse 9. He makes war cease to the end of the earth, He breaks the bow and shatters the spears and burns the shield with fire.

Verse 10. He says be still and know that I am God I will be exalted among the nations I will be exalted in the earth.

Verse 11. The Lord almighty is with us, the God of Jacob is our fortress.

So look to God and His peace not as the world gives, but by the power of His words, His faithfulness and His love, and let us be still and know that He is God and in control of all things.
