Psalm 46:8

New International Version

Come and see what the Lord has done,

    the desolations he has brought on the earth.

For Encouragement

Never forget the overwhelming majesty of the Lord and His power in the affairs of this world.

In all the rumblings and shakings in your life, God is on top of everything. He is providentially orchestrating things for your good and His purpose (Romans 8:28). With shouts of joy, you will call people to come and witness what God has done in your life—how He has kept you standing tall amid all the surrounding chaos by His grace.

God will make every eruption cease and quiet every storm around you. He will decommission every weapon the enemy has fashioned against you and render them useless concerning you.

So, do not fear what you see and hear today. Your God sits enthroned in heaven and is in firm control of everything. He laughs and scoffs at those who rebel against his Son (Psalm 2:4) and fight against you, His redeemed.

Just be still and know that He is God and see Him exalt Himself on your behalf. The Lord Almighty is with you. He is your fortress (46:10-11).

Amen!
