Reading along with us in Psalms? Here’s today’s reading:
Psalm 46 (ESV)
God is our refuge and strength,
a very present help in trouble.
2 Therefore we will not fear though the earth gives way,
though the mountains be moved into the heart of the sea,
3 though its waters roar and foam,
though the mountains tremble at its swelling. Selah
4 There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God,
the holy habitation of the Most High.
5 God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved;
God will help her when morning dawns.
6 The nations rage, the kingdoms totter;

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 of hosts is with us;
the God of Jacob is our fortress.❣
What if the gift of life is really just a thin sliver of the gift
What a great Psalm to reference when things are falling apart, whether individually or nationally. When all we see is disaster and trouble, God is still on His throne. What could be more important than to be still and know that He is God! And I don’t believe that means inactivity necessarily. But being still even in our activity. There are a lot of things we can and should do as problems arise. But worry is not one of them. So we apply ourselves to the things that are our responsibility and trust God for the things He is responsible for, recognizing that our activity is not the end of the story, it’s not the only thing happening. God is working all around and behind the scenes, and that enables me to be at rest even when I am doing the things God directs me to do.
