Psalm 46:8-11

Psalm 46:8-11 


  You may have seen this Psalm verse before, Be Still and Know that I am God.  Did you realize that it was seated in the heart of chaos?  Did you recognize that it was in the midst of wars and desolations?  It's amazing to find such a verse in such a place.... but that's the amazing thing about the peace of God.  It can be found anywhere if we hand ourselves over.  I recently read a great book by Michael Horton about the fear of God, and in it, he was describing how a proper understanding of the fear of God helps us to not be afraid of anything else in the world.  When we understand God's power and majesty, all other fears fade into background noise, because we have nothing to fear.  Thus, even in the midst of desolation, we can be still and trust in God.
