Psalm 46

God Is Our Fortress

God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear though the earth gives way, though the mountains be moved into the sea, though its waters roar and foam, though the mountains tremble at its swelling. 

There is a rover whose streams makes glad the city of God, the holy habitation of the Most High. God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved; God will help her when morning dawns. The nations rage, the kingdoms totter; he utters his voice, the earth melts. The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress. 

Come, behold the works of the Lord, how he has brought desolations on the earth. He makes wars cease to the end of the earth; he breaks the bow and shatters the spear; he burns the chariots with Fire. "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. 

Dear God, 

What would You have me learn from this passage? That You are refuge and strength. That You are a very present help in trouble. God, that being said, please continue to intervene on behalf of the least of these with regard to healthcare and budgets. Do not let the republicans screw things up for the least of these. 

Thank You.

In Jesus' name, 

Amen
