God put it on my heart to read Psalm 46 tonight before going to sleep. After reading it - I understand why...
It's a passage about God's strength, His power, His majesty, His Truth, His Deliverance and our promised future with Him in His Kingdom. The penultimate verse has to be "Be still and know that I AM GOD. I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the Earth"
Such a powerful and positive promise that reminds us of Jesus' true identity as the King of all Kings and of our place by His side as the children of God when He returns and ends all wars and brings His powerful peace to this Earth.
It's also such a powerful answer to the evil spirit of fear and anxiety that so often tries to attack us before and while we sleep. This is the answer that needs to be spoken and meditated on when it tries to rob us of God's peace that's promised to His children.
Psalm 46
God Is Our Fortress
To the choirmaster. Of athe Sons of Korah. According to bAlamoth.1 A Song.
To the choirmaster. Of athe Sons of Korah. According to bAlamoth.1 A Song.
46 God is our refuge and strength,
a very present help in etrouble.
2 Therefore we will not fear fthough 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 ia 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;
he utters his voice, the earth melts.
7 The Lord of hosts is with us;
the God of Jacob is our fortress. Selah
8 Come, behold the works of the Lord,
how he has brought desolations on the earth.
9 He makes wars cease to the end of the earth;
he breaks the bow and shatters the spear;
the burns the chariots with fire.
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. Selah
