Psalm 46

"God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.
Therefore we will not fear, though the earth gives way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with their surging.
There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God, the holy place where the Most High dwells.
God is within her, she will not fall; God will help her at break of day.
Nations are in uproar, kingdoms fall; he lifts his voice, the earth melts.
The Lord Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress.
Come and see the works of the Lord, the desolations he has brought on the earth.
He makes wars cease to the ends of the earth; he breaks the bow and shatters the spear, he burns the shields 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 Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress."

Sometimes I just need to read these words over and over again. Sometimes I just need to rediscover how powerful and mighty and incredibly amazing God really is. And sometimes, I just need a reminder that God is within me. He is within me, and I will aboslutely not fall. Yes, I will stumble. But I will not fall.

  1. I agree, Kels. Sometimes it is hard to remember that above all God is in control. And to trust that He will not drop us... it's alot for our little minds to comprehend.
    Hey, and I just want to thank you for being... awesome! I only found your blog... what, two days ago? And you have been such an encouragement over that short time! I'm thankful that you are here... And I can't wait to meet you in heaven (if not before!)
    God bless!

  2. Yes. Definitely.
    And I'm really glad anything I said meant something to you, even in a little way. A lot of what you have commented and blogged has been so helpful to me, as well. Sometimes, you just need that little push in the right direction or a little reminder, or even knowing that someone somewhere totally understands what you're feeling. So thanks for understanding!
