Posted on Posted in Devotions Tagged with , ,

Psalm 46:1-6 (KJV)  To the chief Musician for the sons of Korah, A Song upon Alamoth.
 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. 

God is the psalmist’s refuge and strength. Whenever he needs help, he was able to call upon Him and find help.

Here he cites calamitous confrontations that befell him. There is a place of refuge in God that is like the calm river that flows where He dwells ruling over all troubles victoriously.

He therefore is able to calmly face life trusting that God will move and act to on his behalf on time every time to thwart all spiritual darkness. Amen.
