I am going through something right now that has had me very scared and anxious. I needed Psalm 46 today, so badly. Praise be our God who gives us words of comfort when we come to him in need.
There is a river whose streams make gkad to city of God. Beautiful for every situation is our God. Lord you are my joy, may my joy be full in you Jesus
“‘Be still, and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth,’ The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress.” SELAH – think about that. Psalm 46:10-11
“‘Be still, and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth,’ The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress.” Ps. 46:10-11
God has done so much for those who have gone before us, and he will continue his good work through us. He will be our guide until the very end. He’s a place we can go to hide like little kids and a place we can draw strength from when we don’t have enough of our own. Unlike the fleeting help of this world, God is ever-present so we don’t have to fear!
“God, within Your temple, we contemplate Your faithful love”. Meditating on God’s Love has the power to settle my heart and calm my fears. It is the anchor for my restless soul. ❤️
13consider well her ramparts,
go through her citadels,
that you may tell the next generation
14that this is God,
our God forever and ever.
He will guide us forever.
1God is our refuge and strength,
a very present help in trouble.
5God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved;
God will help her when morning dawns.
These last 3 weeks were so awful and I just want to praise Jesus because I was sooo far, farther then I’d been in awhile and I went walking in the wilderness an prayed and prayed and it’s like I was speaking directly too God. My love has even increased MORE for him. I just want everyone to know that if you feel far away- be patient. His love will run over you like a wave.❤️
Someone said to me “There is no such thing as failure in God’s Kingdom.” As I’ve been meditating on this it’s been paradigm shifting! Think about how you see yourself and others in light of this!
Ps 46:10 may well be my life verse! For many years I thought be still meant sit in a chair, ha! It really means “cease striving” – stop trying to MAKE everything happen and let God be in control!
I am so in awe of God this morning! I’m about three months behind, but I so needed this this morning, and bam! There it was. I’m about to sit an exam that I’m so nervous for and feeling really unprepared, and God has reminded me this morning that he provides and is so much bigger and mightier than any problems that come my way. Reading this passage this morning showed me yet again that not only is God enormous and awesome, creating the universe and setting the course of eternity, but he is also present in the smallest aspects of our lives, like picking what bible passages we read each day. So thankful that I’m reading this today in July rather than in April, because I don’t think it would have resonated as strongly!!
It’s amazing how you can be struggling your way through life and then you open your Bible study plan and find the encouragement you e been needing. It’s like smack from God saying “Stop trying to figure it out by yourself and trust me!” I so very much needed this today.
Psalms 46:5 “God is in the midst of her; She shall not be moved;” I love this so much. I don’t know if anyone else feels this way, but I feel unbreakable when I read this. I know God is with me through the roughest times. I know I’ll get through it. I won’t be beaten, fall, or moved because he is with me. Psalms paints such a beautiful picture for us here. God has placed us here for a reason, he knows us, He knows this beautiful Earth, and He loves us. That’s definitely something to celebrate and rejoice over. It fills my heart with gratitude. I might be so off on my “interpretation” but I like it.
Absolutely! God is with us at every moment. He is our strength and our savior. I fell in love with these lines:
Psalms
1 God is our refuge and strength,
a helper who is always found
in times of trouble.
2 Therefore we will not be afraid,
though the earth trembles
and the mountains topple
into the depths of the seas,
3 though its waters roar and foam
and the mountains quake with its turmoil.
Sorry! For some reason I can’t see what I type before I send I it out!!! Anyway I meant to say that I can’t tell you how great it felt to read that and how much I loved the part that talked about the girl being helped by God!!!
That was amazing!!! I really needed that especially as I’ve been going through hard times at school. I can’t tell you how grthat felt to read this scripture. I lthat said,
Its is a comforting moment as i read to know that as i woke up crying the lord God in verse 5 says that he is with me and will comfort me in the midst of my sadness he is with me. I love the encouragement i have read the last three days of how God sees me and loves me. I will sings praises to him today, thanking him for his encouraging words .
Thank you for all the prayers the other day!! While I didn’t have a big gospel sharing moment like I was thinking, I hope some of the little things I said and did planted seeds that others can water. I love the reassurance in the Psalms today, and the overwhelming joy of the Lord
There is such beauty and reassurance in these verses today! I want to remember these throughout the week, to “fix these words on [my] heart and mind” (Deut 11:18). In a season of patience, it’s comforting to know that God is continually working.
1 “God is our refuge and strength,
an ever-present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear…” This verse is always comforting, and reassured me when I lost my husband to suicide.
We talked about fear today in church. And that even though we are told by the world that we have to have it all together and it’s all up to us , it is really up to God. He is with us always and he has a plan for us. Psalm 46 really speaks to this
I’m sorry…that is hard stuff. Thanking God that He is “an ever-present help in trouble.” God bless as you walk this road of grief. Full Joy awaits! God redeems all!
Psalm 46:1-2: “God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in times of trouble. Therefore we will not fear…”
This is just what I needed to hear this morning! Thank you God for always being there for me, for always loving me, for giving me hope even during hard times; I love you Lord!
vs 5: God is within her; she will not be toppled. God will help her when the morning dawns.
Though, in this verse, he is talking about Israel – it is also true of us in a personal sense. I am going to stand on this! May it be so today, Lord!
I had a teacher recently show that in the Hebrew (I think) be still means to let go, that gave this verse all new meaning to me. Let go, and know that I am God!

Come, everyone! Clap your hands! Shout to God with joyful praise! For the LORD Most High is awesome. He is the great King of all the earth. (Psalms 47:1-2 NLT)
Let’s make much of Him today at church and then carry that with us throughout the week! He is worthy of ALL our praise! Make Him famous!!
God is a very present help
❤️
❤️
Our security is in God! My security is in God! Amen. Thank You, Lord.
Yess, great thanks to the Lord our God, my security too is in Him only. Amen!
God is with us and among us
❤️
❤️
Our security is in you alone. Thank you for the reminder that all I have need of is in you Lord.
I believe God wants us to rejoice, to not be discouraged may He rejoice in us and us in Him ! ❤️

Definitely needed to read this today
Started my day off perfectly!! With praise!!
Needed to read these verses this morning. I am always amazed at God’s perfect timing.
Agreed!!! Was truly in awe as I read this morning!
So encouraged by these verses today!

As we gather in church services this Sunday morning, may we meditate on His unfailing love!

Lord I declare this day that you are my refuge and strength. Help me to trust you in all circumstances
There is great security in trusting in God.
1 God is our refuge and strength,
an ever-present help in trouble.
5 God is within her, she will not fall;
God will help her at break of day.
14 For this God is our God for ever and ever;
he will be our guide even to the end.
These verses reached out and grabbed me. They represented security, safety, love, protection,promise…..
Yes praise the Lord
When my friend had cancer, Ps. 46:1 was a great comfort to her.
Amen
These are all verses I bookmarked as well! I loved each one and felt so blessed by them!
