A Few Clarifying Questions
“God is our refuge and strength, and 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.” (Psalm 46:1-2)
Do I really seek refuge? (Or do I just want to “borrow” God’s strength to do my will?)
“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. . . . Be still and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.” (Psalm 46:6, 10)
When do I take time and space to “be still” and “know that He is God”? (Or do I stay stuck in the uproar that surrounds me?)
“Clap your hands, all you nations; shout to God with cries of Joy. . . . Sing praises to God, sing praises; sing praises to our King, sing praises. For God is the King of all the earth; sing to him a psalm of praise.” (Psalm 47:1, 6)
How often do I clap in celebration, shout with joy, or even sing in praise? (Or do I forget that He is God of all the earth?)
“Walk about Zion, go around her, count her towers, consider well her ramparts, view her citadels, that you may tell of them to the next generation. For this God is our God forever and ever; he will be our guide even to the end.” (Psalm 48:12-14)
What stories of deliverance am I telling to the next generation? (Or do I get lost trying to guide myself?)
