“Cease striving and know that I am God"

 -Alistair Begg

*

Psalm 46

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. 


There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God,


The holy dwelling places of the Most High.



God is in the midst of her, she will not be moved;


God will help her when morning dawns.



The nations made an uproar, the kingdoms tottered;


He raised His voice, the earth melted.



The Lord of hosts is with us;


The God of Jacob is our stronghold. 


Come, behold the works of the Lord,


Who has wrought desolations in the earth.



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.



Cease striving 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 stronghold.

Be Still And Know             by Jay Stocker


Be still my soul

Be still and know that He is God

Rest quietly

Rest in His loving arms for--


He is watching over you

Ever faithful, ever true

So be still my soul

Be still and know that He is God.


Be still my soul

Be still and listen for His voice

Rest in His peace

Knowing how much He cares for-- 


He is watching over you

Ever faithful, ever true

So be still my soul

Be still and know that He is God.

*


Psalm 37

7a "...Rest in the Lord 

and wait patiently for Him..."
