The Lord is with us, His body of believers. We encompass all the earth and are among many different Bible-believing churches. God is our refuge. He is our shelter among the storms of life. Come and behold the works of the Lord. God has control of all the earth. Wars don’t have a chance, for God is even in control of them also, and can cause them to cease at any time. No matter the weapon, they don’t stand a chance against God. Weaponized vehicles in the air and land are destroyed with one sound of His voice. David declared, “the Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah. Come, behold the works of the Lord, what desolations he hath made in the earth.” (Psalm 46:7,8) Imagine how powerful Jesus was on earth, that power is now on full display in the heavenly abode.
Be still and know that God is with us. He is the one in control. God is exalted among all people, no matter if they decide to believe in Him or not. Because God is with us, who can be against us? He is our refuge and our strong tower. Speaking of wars and more, David said, “He maketh wars to cease unto the end of the earth; he breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear in sunder; he burneth the chariot in the fire. Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth. The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.” (Psalm 46:9-11) When God is on our side, no matter what happens to us, we know where our final destination will be. All for Jesus, we surrender our lives and ask that He receives us into His heavenly home above. Amen.
Let us pray:
Oh Lord, my God, I give You praise and honor this day and forever. Yes, Jesus, you deserve everything we have to offer You. Thank You for saving a wretch like me. Second chances in this life are so real. I have tasted of Your goodness and grace, and I am now a free man because of Your great love for me. Who am I among the billions of people on this earth? I am no better than anyone else, but still, You came and chose me to be Your disciple. Among the millions of other witnesses on earth, I feel so blessed to be a part of Your kingdom. May the Holy Spirit always be with me. I never want to go a day when Your presence is not with me. Keep me upright and in Your right standing. May every wicked part of me vanish before Your sight. In righteousness do I walk with You by my side. I love You, Jesus. Amen.
