I am reading the Bible chronologically this year. Today, Psalm 46 was part of my reading. It’s a well-loved and familiar chapter, particularly for verse 10, “Be still and know that I am God.”
While I still need to grasp that concept fully, there were 3 other two-word phrases that caught my attention.
Verse 1- Always Ready
These words were used to describe God. He doesn’t have to pack his bag, clean or prepare his tools, or check a You Tube video for instructions. He is ready and waiting for me to call on him.
Verse 11 – Is Here
I don’t have to check if he is in the area, or wonder if we are in the same time zone. I don’t have to bring him up to speed on my situation. He is here already.
Verse 11 – Among Us
He’s not just ready and here and for me, but you for you also. He is among us. Immanuel!
Hi I’m in New Zealand so a different time zone than you ! I just found your book and have ordered it – I went goggling this morning as I was feeling frustrated . I have MS and have gradually got worse now I’m in an electric chair full time . My husband Greg is my full time care giver but I’m still able to be independent in showering and quite a few ways – thanks to this wonderful electric chair . I was reading Psalm 46 this morning and under lined verse 1 an ever present help in trouble . We were having a bit of a spat which hardly ever happens -he made the comment he does everything which is fairly true but it makes me so mad cos I used to do everything inside and loved it – anyway I’m looking forward to your book which wont arrive till mid January I imagine you will have a perspective on life I can relate to ! Regards Lea
Lea, thank you for letting me know I’ve gone to NZ! I am adding you and your hubby to my prayer list.
