Psalm 46 (NLT)

God is our refuge and strength,
    always ready to help in times of trouble.
So we will not fear when earthquakes come
    and the mountains crumble into the sea.
Let the oceans roar and foam.
    Let the mountains tremble as the waters surge!

A river brings joy to the city of our God,
    the sacred home of the Most High.
God dwells in that city; it cannot be destroyed.
    From the very break of day, God will protect it.
The nations are in chaos,
    and their kingdoms crumble!
God’s voice thunders,
    and the earth melts!
The Lord of Heaven’s Armies is here among us;
    the God of Israel is our fortress. Interlude

Come, see the glorious works of the Lord:
    See how he brings destruction upon the world.
He causes wars to end throughout the earth.
    He breaks the bow and snaps the spear;
    he burns the shields with fire.

“Be still, and know that I am God!
    I will be honored by every nation.
    I will be honored throughout the world.”

The Lord of Heaven’s Armies is here among us;
    the God of Israel is our fortress.

Meditate

The Lord of Heaven’s Armies is here among us; the God of Israel is our fortress. (Psalm 46:11)

Pray

God, You are our refuge and strength, always ready to help in times of trouble. We will not fear when the earth shakes or the mountains crumble into the sea. Let the chaos roar! Lord of Heaven’s Armies, You are our fortress. The governments of the world may crumble but the Kingdom of God remains forever. Lord Jesus, you will be honored by every tribe, tongue, and nation. Come soon, we pray. Amen.
