The righteous will never be shaken, but the wicked will not dwell in the land.

Many years ago I wrote a song entitled ‘Be Still and Know’ based on Psalm 46. It speaks of the fact that though the earth shall move and change we shall not be afraid; the Lord of Hosts is with us! And He made it clear to all who will hear and believe that He never fails!



In this world we will have tribulations—trials, problems and painful experiences {Jn16:33}. However, not a single one of which the Lord is unaware of and will not give us a peace that passes understanding to endure. And while we may not understand it in the natural, our spirits will testify to the glorious truth that indeed, “God causes all things work together for good…” {Rom.8:28}



That is exactly what Joseph told his brothers after they had mistreated him so terribly throwing him into a well only to take him out and sell him off to slavery in Egypt. It was there that he saved them as well his captors from starvation. He said to them what you meant for evil, God meant for good! {Gen.50:20} When we are obedient to the Lord’s instructions He will not only bless us wherever we are and whatever we are going through, He will cause it to work for His purpose and glory and for our ultimate good. He will bless our children, our work, our kitty cats and puppy dogs—all our animals! {Deut.28:1-4}



So, press on, endure until the end, give Him thanks and praise in the midst of the storm and you will see the victory of God, you will see the glory of God! Hopefully, many, many others will see His work in you and be drawn to His love. Peter had said: “I most certainly understand now that God is not one to show partiality, but in every nation the man who fears Him and does what is right is welcome to Him.” {Acts 10:34-35} Our love, joy and peace even in, or especially in, the hard times are great tools of evangelism and are certainly pleasing to God!



Solomon wrote “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not lean on your own understanding.” {Pro.3:5} Jesus has said to us “If you love Me, you will keep My commandments.” {Jn.14:15} Pretty clear isn’t it? We will know that command is true, as is everything that the Lord has spoken if—there is always an ‘if’…



“God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth should change, and though the mountains slip into the heart of the sea; Though its waters roar and foam, though the mountains quake at its swelling pride. Selah. — The Lord of hosts is with us; The God of Jacob is our stronghold. Selah.” (Psalms 46:1-3,7)



TRUST IN THE LORD WITH ALL YOUR HEART
