 Psalm 46King James Version (KJV)
46 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
2 Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;
3 Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah.
4 There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the most High.
5 God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her, and that right early.
6 The heathen raged, the kingdoms were moved: he uttered his voice, the earth melted.
7 The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.
8 Come, behold the works of the Lord, what desolations he hath made in the earth.
9 He 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.
10 Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.
11 The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.
This past week I have felt attacked and beaten down.
There are times when I need to just get away. Take a break from the pressures of life and enter the refuge of God.
When I was very young, I memorized this Psalm. I have never forgotten it, and it my go to passage when I am having a rough day.
This has been a really challenging week. As I write this, my hands throb with pain, My hips feel like they are on fire, and I truly feel like I am losing control of my body.
In times like these I could just give up or I could cry out to Jesus. He knows how much I need help. He knows how I feel. I am reminded that I am sheltered in the arms of God, and that He is still my Refuge and Strength. |
