Psalm 46
God is our refuge and strength,
an ever-present help in trouble.
2 Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way
and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea,
3 though its waters roar and foam
and the mountains quake with their surging.[c]
4 There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God,
the holy place where the Most High dwells.
5 God is within her, she will not fall;
God will help her at break of day.
6 Nations are in uproar, kingdoms fall;
he lifts his voice, the earth melts.
7 The LORD Almighty is with us;
the God of Jacob is our fortress.
8 Come and see what the LORD has done,
the desolations he has brought on the earth.
9 He makes wars cease
to the ends of the earth.
He breaks the bow and shatters the spear;
he burns the shields[d] with fire.
10 He says, “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 Almighty is with us;
the God of Jacob is our fortress
So, I carpool to work with Courtney. We talk alot. Yesterday we talked about the 9/11 commemorations at our respective churches on Sunday. She proceeded to tell me this psalm was in their bulletin in such a way it could be cut off and used as a bible bookmark. She thought she would cut it out and put in her car in case we (she and Kim) were ever in a wreck we would have God's word with us. She said she had just read the first paragraph....then later on she read the rest of it.
Do you see anything familiar in this scripture?? She said to me...Kim, it's the "Be still and listen" scripture.
I got goosebumps...God just keeps reminding me of what I need to do! I need to listen and be still.
