Cease Striving

Image
“Cease striving and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.” Yahweh of hosts is with us; The God of Jacob is our stronghold. Selah. — Psalms 46:10-11 (LSB) God is our refuge and strength [mighty and impenetrable], a very present and well-proved help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth should change and though the mountains be shaken and slip into the heart of the seas, though its waters roar and foam, though the mountains tremble at its roaring. Selah. (Psalms 46:1-3 AMP)  I will lift up my eyes to the mountains; From where shall my help come? My help comes from Yahweh, Who made heaven and earth. He will not allow your foot to stumble; He who keeps you will not slumber. (Psalms 121:1-3 LSB) “Yahweh himself will watch over you; he’s always at your side to shelter you safely in his presence.” (Psalms 121:5 TPT)

A Very Present Help

God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. — Psalms 46:1 (LSB) Yahweh is with us at all times, and He is always ready to help. Hallelujah! When you receive a bad report from the doctor, the great Physician is with you, and He is your Healer. When you suffer loss and tragedy, He is by your side to carry you through. When you don’t get that job or promotion, He opens another door that no one can shut. Let us rejoice and hold onto hope through the hard times, because our Help, the Mighty God is faithful. Pray at all times, continually seeking His wisdom, guidance, and strength. For the Eternal watches over the righteous, and His ears are attuned to their prayers. He is always listening. (Psalms 34:15 VOICE) The LORD of Heaven’s Armies is here among us; the God of Israel is our fortress. Interlude — Psalms 46:7 (NLT)

God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth should change and though the mountains shake into the heart of the sea; Though its waters roar and foam, though the mountains quake at its lofty pride. Selah. — Psalms 46:1-3 (LSB) No matter what chaos and disasters occur on the earth, Yahweh is always ready to help. In the midst of your challenges and troubles, He is with you.

Our Help

For I hold you by your right hand— I, the LORD your God. And I say to you, ‘Don’t be afraid. I am here to help you. — Isaiah 41:13 (NLT) Whatever you go through today, know that the great “I AM” is with you and He will help you. He is a very present help in trouble. (See Psalm 46:1) In Acts 26:22 (NKJV), the Apostle Paul who suffered many hardships and persecution, said “having obtained help from God, to this day I stand, witnessing both to small and great…” Today, we stand, with God’s help and we can testify to the goodness and grace Yahweh has given to us.  Why are you in despair, O my soul? And why have you become disturbed within me? Hope in God, for I shall again praise Him for the help of His presence.  ( Psalm 42:5 NASB1995) ...joyful are those who have the God of Israel as their helper, whose hope is in the LORD their God. (Psalm 146:5 NLT)

Be Still

“Cease striving 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 stronghold. Selah. — Psalm 46:10-11 (NASB1995) May we always take time to be still in the presence of YAHWEH. Remove all distractions, and focus your attention on the great “I AM”, Who is with you at all times. Let us be still physically, but also clear our minds of all the clutter that life brings our way. Instead of trying to figure things out on your own, turn your concerns over to our heavenly Father. Our help comes from the LORD, Who made heaven and earth. (See Psalm 121:2) Nothing is too difficult for Him. And He cares about you. Reflect on His goodness and His faithfulness. Praise and give thanks to our great and awesome God!  Be silent before the LORD, all humanity, for he is springing into action from his holy dwelling. — Zechariah 2:13 (NLT)

Gracious is the LORD

Gracious is the LORD, and righteous; Yes, our God is compassionate. The LORD preserves the simple; I was brought low, and He saved me. Return to your rest, O my soul, for the LORD has dealt bountifully with you. — Psalm 116:5-7 (NASB) Our God is full of grace and compassion. When difficult circumstances bring you down, look up, to Abba Father. He is an ever-present help. The Message Bible says, God takes the side of the helpless... (Psalm 116:6). He will right the wrongs.     Our heavenly Father shines His light, in times of darkness. Keep your trust in Him and He will deal bountifully with you. And the Eternal watches over the naive. Whenever I was knocked down, He reached down and saved me. O my soul! Return and relax. Come to your true rest, for the Eternal has showered you with His favor. —Psalm 116:6-7 (The Voice)

Be Still

“Be still and know (recognize, understand) that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations! I will be exalted in the earth.” — Psalm 46:10 (NKJV) Quiet yourself before the LORD. Let the thoughts racing through your head come to a halt. Know that He is the great, “I AM.” God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1 NIV). Recognize that the LORD is glorious and strong (Psalm 96:7 NLT). Nothing is too difficult for Him. Understand that He is always present. Jesus reminds us in Matthew 28:20, “…and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen. In all your ways know and acknowledge and recognize Him, and He will make your paths straight and smooth [removing obstacles that block your way]. (Proverbs 3:6 AMP)

An Ever-Present Help

God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. — Psalm 46:1 (NIV) If you are feeling all alone in the troubles and trials that you are going through, know that God is our refuge and strength. He is always ready to help in times of trouble. He is mighty and immovable. Your circumstances cannot move Him. He is a strong and impenetrable fortress. So we will not fear when disaster strikes and our world seems to be falling apart. The mountains that stand before you today will crumble in His Presence. Our God has a well-proven track record of delivering His people from all their troubles. Cast your cares on Him because He cares for you.
