Today’s Scripture: The LORD Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress. Selah Psalms 46:7 NIV
This Psalm is timeless and for all people of God. When natural and man made disasters and threats are upon us, all mentioned in this chapter, it is the LORD almighty and His host of powers that will protect us.
He is our refuge when we realize the enormity of obstacles we face. Nothing we face can stand against the powers of God. God is very present in our times of trouble as we are told in the first verse of this chapter. Have no doubt that in any of your troubles God is very present.
In 46:10 we are instructed to be still and know He is God. No matter what we face today may we pause, be still and know the LORD almighty is with us.
Do you ever pause to reflect on the powers of God and know that all of them are with you?
Today’s Prayer: Almighty God, thank You for Your mighty powers and legions of angels and armies that protect me. In You I have no fears of earthly adversaries. I pause now to praise You and know that You are my God. Amen

This is so awesome and true Tom. Just heard a testimony from a woman connected to our congregation. Her house by the shore was threatened by Sandy. The tide was rising and heading for her bulk head and threatened her furnace. She called many intercessors and asked them to pray for God’s intervention. Within an hour the water had receded two feet from her bulkhead and this hours before high tide! God is good … a shelter and a refuge!
Wow, thanks for sharing this testimony of God’s goodness jelillie. I thought about those in the storm this morning as I read the words
Psa 46:2 Therefore we will not fear though the earth gives way, though the mountains be moved into the heart of the sea,
Psa 46:3 though its waters roar and foam, though the mountains tremble at its swelling. Selah
What a beautiful affirmation for all of us today, Tom. Thinking about all His power being with me, humbles me tonight. God bless you and thank you for keeping us turning to God.
Deb, thank you and God bless you for your tireless energy and continued encouragement! Abundant blessings and strength in the LORD Almighty!
