The Word: Psalm 46:9-11

He makes wars cease
to the ends of the earth.
He breaks the bow and shatters the spear;
he burns the shields[d] with fire.

10 

He says, “Be still, and know that I am God;
I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth.”

11 

The Lord Almighty is with us;
the God of Jacob is our fortress.

John 16:33

33 “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”

 I love hearing the all powerful statements from both God the Father in the Old Testament and from Jesus in the New Testament. 

I just want to encourage you men to lean on this all powerful God that created the universe.

Psalm 142[a]

maskil[b] of David. When he was in the cave. A prayer.

1.I cry aloud to the Lord;
I lift up my voice to the Lord for mercy.

2.I pour out before him my complaint;
before him I tell my trouble.

3.When my spirit grows faint within me,
    it is you who watch over my way.
In the path where I walk
people have hidden a snare for me.

4.Look and see, there is no one at my right hand;
no one is concerned for me.
I have no refuge;
no one cares for my life.

5.I cry to you, Lord;
I say, “You are my refuge,
my portion in the land of the living.”

6.Listen to my cry,
for I am in desperate need;
rescue me from those who pursue me,
for they are too strong for me.

7.Set me free from my prison,
that I may praise your name.
Then the righteous will gather about me
because of your goodness to me.


So many great words of wisdom in this chapter. It really spoke to me last week. Verse 3 paints a great picture of God always being with us. Verse 4 made me think of F3 and other rich relationships that help me to not feel alone. However when we hit those moments in life God is always there and is the most reliable friend. Verse 6, I love that David admits that he is out numbered and can’t “man” his way out of trouble.
