Psalm 46 "1God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. 2Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;
3Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah. 4There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the most High. 5God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her, and that right early. 6The heathen raged, the kingdoms were moved: he uttered his voice, the earth melted. 7The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah. 8Come, behold the works of the LORD, what desolations he hath made in the earth. 9He 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. 10Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth. 11The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah."
Hmmmm.....The sitaution with my son is still going on. When I thought about it again, verse 10 stuck out the most. But I wanted to read what came before that verse. Once I did, I felt more at peace. It is always amazing to know the power of God. To have the ability to put calm in the midst of chaos.....that is simply amazing. We as humans can not seem to do this. Not on our own. We can keep trying and trying, but real calmness and peace only come from God.
This is more of a meditation day. Just sitting and being amazed at what He is capable of doing....His power.....but also to reflect on His gentleness, caring, and loving for all of us....even when we mess up.....
I will trust you Lord, no matter how things turn out. You have ordered my steps and You know what's best for me. I will trust you.....I will be still and know that you are God....
God Bless!
How true. It is always an exercise of faith to simply know that God is in control and has everything worked out. We don't need to worry about things. The outcome may not be what we thought or what we wanted, but it will always glorify God and be for our good. God bless and thanks for a great post.
