Psalm 46

1 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.
Selah

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.
Selah

8 Come and see the works of the LORD,
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 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 Almighty is with us;
the God of Jacob is our fortress.
Selah

There are bound to be storms in our lives. The question is how do we go through them?

I believe that the answer is found in Psalm 46:10, when God says "Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth."

When we are experiencing storms in our lives, we need to be still and acknowledge that our God is in control of everything. Then we can experience the peace as if we are in the eye of the storm.



One of the biggest storm happened to me last year whereby my grandfather passed away. But because I knew that He was saved, and I knew that God cares, I felt so much peace. I was sad that he wasn't around, but I was also consoled that God has taken him to a better place - heaven. I really want to commit all my future storms into God's hands. In Him, I will seek refuge and rise above the storms.


Things to ponder
1. When was the last time you had a big storm in your life? What did you do in response?
2. If you had trusted in God more, and be still before Him, what would you have done differently?
3. Pray and commit future storms into His hands.
