Hey beautiful sisters in Christ! If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed by life lately—like the world is shaking beneath your feet, and you’re wondering where to run—I have a word for you today. Psalm 46 is a powerful reminder that even when chaos surrounds us, God is our refuge, our strength, and our ever-present help in trouble. Let’s dive deep into this Psalm together to help you draw closer to God and remind your soul of who He is.
God Is Our Refuge: Psalm 46:1-3 “God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with their surging.” (Psalm 46:1-3, NIV)
These verses hit differently when you’re going through something. It doesn’t say “if” the earth gives way—it says “though” it does. Acknowledging the shaking of the earth doesn’t mean we have to be overwhelmed by it. The Psalmist doesn’t pretend trouble doesn’t exist, but declares something more powerful: God is our refuge.
Not your money. Not your success. Not people's approval. God alone is your safe place when everything else falls apart. And the best part? He’s not just a help, He’s an ever-present help. He doesn’t clock in and out of your life. Because He’s always with us, we don’t have to fear.
God Is With Us: Psalm 46:4-7 “There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God, the holy place where the Most High dwells. God is within her, she will not fall; God will help her at break of day. Nations are in uproar, kingdoms fall; He lifts his voice, the earth melts. The Lord Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress.” (Psalm 46:4-7)
This part gives me chills. The river mentioned here represents the Spirit of God—His peace, His life flowing even in the midst of a storm. Even when nations rage, even when systems collapse, God says: You will not fall. Because He is within you.
Listen, sis, if you are in Christ, God doesn’t just visit you on Sundays. He lives in you. That’s why you’re still standing, why you can smile even with tears, and why you haven’t given up. You are held by the unshakable presence of God.
Be Still and Know: Psalm 46:8-11 “Come and see what the Lord has done, the desolations He has brought on the earth. He makes wars cease to the ends of the earth. He breaks the bow and shatters the spear; He burns the shields with fire. ‘Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.’ The Lord Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress.” (Psalm 46:8-11)
We all know the verse “Be still and know that I am God.” But do you realize what kind of stillness this is? It’s not just sitting in silence. It’s the stillness that says: “God, I trust You even when I don’t understand. I surrender. I lay down my weapons. I stop trying to fix everything. I choose to rest in You.”
God is reminding you today: Let Me fight your battles. I will be exalted. Just be still.
Three Ways Psalm 46 Helps Us Draw Closer to God:
- God is your constant refuge – You don’t have to run to the world when trouble comes. Run to Him.
- God dwells within you – You’re not alone. Even if the whole world shakes, you will not fall.
- God invites you to be still – In the chaos, He calls you to stillness—not to escape, but to know Him deeply.
Sis, if you’ve been feeling distant from God or relying on your own strength, Psalm 46 is God’s invitation to you: “Come back to Me. Be still with Me. Let Me be your refuge again.”
Take a moment now. Close your eyes and say: “God, I surrender. Be my refuge. I choose to trust You again.”
