Trust and Obey

Psalm 46

God the Refuge of His People.

For the choir director. A Psalm of the sons of Korah, set to Alamoth. A Song.
1 God is our refuge and strength,
A very present help in trouble.
2 Therefore we will not fear, though the earth should change
And though the mountains slip into the heart of the sea;
3 Though its waters roar and foam,
Though the mountains quake at its swelling pride.
Selah.
4 There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God,
The holy dwelling places of the Most High.
5 God is in the midst of her, she will not be moved;
God will help her when morning dawns.
6 The nations made an uproar, the kingdoms tottered;
He raised His voice, the earth melted.
7 The LORD of hosts is with us;
The God of Jacob is our stronghold.
Selah.
8 Come, behold the works of the LORD,
Who has wrought desolations in the earth.
9 He makes wars to cease to the end of the earth;
He breaks the bow and cuts the spear in two;
He burns the chariots with fire.
10 “Cease striving and know that I am God;
I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.”
11 The LORD of hosts is with us;
The God of Jacob is our stronghold.
Selah.

This was the passage we went through today at church. The Lord really has been speaking to me this last month or so. Just telling me to trust him and obey him. To be faithful. As a believer in Christ this should come easy but it doesnt. I need to believe and trust his promises.

There is difference though between believing in the Lord and trusting him. The Lord has been putting on my heart to serve other moms. To me this is really uncomfortable because well I have worked with Jr. High girls most of my life. Now being a mom I know how much it means when someone prays for you and listens to you. How much we need encouragement and to be praying for our children in a world like it is today.

Thank you Lord for each day and your promises!

  1. You are so right about moms needing encouragement and a kind listening ear. That's so hard to find anymore....
    That's a good thought about praying for your children rather than worrying. Something I needed to hear today :-) My nest is empty, and boy, is the quiet very, very quiet.
    Nice photo of the two of you!!
