Be Still My Soul

Why are you cast down, O my soul? And why are you disquieted within me? Hope in God; For I shall yet praise Him, The help of my countenance and my God - Psalm 43:5.

            David encouraged himself by talking with his soul to have hope in God. Truly my soul silently waits for God; From Him comes my salvation. He only is my rock and my salvation; He is my defense; I shall not be greatly moved - Psalm 62:1,2. Our salvation comes only from the Lord. Surely I have calmed and quieted my soul, Like a weaned child with his mother; Like a weaned child is my soul within me - Psalm 131:2.

            God is our refuge, strength, help and fortress. Be still, and know that I am God.  I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth! The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress - Psalm 46:10,11. Our soul can be still and quiet at any given situation as the Lord of hosts is with us. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; And through the rivers, they shall not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned, Nor shall the flame scorch you - Isaiah 43:2.

            Let us be still by committing all our ways to the Lord and trusting Him. God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, Even though the earth be removed, And though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; Though its waters roar and be troubled, Though the mountains shake with its swelling - Psalm 46:1-3. We can find rest and peace in God even though the earth may be removed, waters may roar and the mountains may shake.

                                         

PRAYER: Dear Lord, Let our soul be still and silent in all situations as You are with us. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
