Scripture :
Psalm 46:1 : God is our refuge and strength,
a very present help in trouble.
Observation :
Psalm 46 is about the ever changing world around us and the anchor that is God. The kingdoms we see will rise and fall, even the mountains and seas may change, but, God remains the same. The psalmist invites the reader to come and behold The Lord.
Application :
I live in a world that is constantly changing. Whether it be my personal emotions, or national elections, relationships, circumstance etc., in life things change. However, the constant is God. No matter my feelings or circumstances around me God is steadfast and I can trust that He is always there in the middle of any scenario. I desire to live not to and fro on the winds of change and emotions but to live anchored on God and His unchanging character.
Prayer :
Thank you Lord that you are unchanging. In the middle of my unstable world you are faithful and you are always the same, yesterday, today, and forever.
