Once again I ran out of time. I could make excuses, but I should make time. I'm going to make excuses though. So if you don't know, I, like 75% of Wattpadians, am a teenage girl. Today a guy asked for my phone number, the first time a guy has ever asked for my phone number, so I just spent the last half hour talking with one of my friends about it and before that he was texting me. That is no excuse though. I'll still do a psalm today.
Psalm 46:1-11 KJV
[1] God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
I love the hymn based on this verse!
[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.
Be still and know that I am God. Today society is so fast paced, instant this, instant that. If people were still for a few minutes, maybe they would be able to realize that there is a God.
[11] The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.
The Lord is with us and is our refuge. What a blessing that is!
