Let us read from Isaiah 28:16.
Listen carefully, I am laying in Zion a Stone, a tested Stone,
A precious Cornerstone for the [secure] foundation, firmly placed.
He who believes [who trusts in, relies on, and adheres to that Stone] will not [b]be disturbed or give way [in sudden panic].
And now, let’s sing the last song.
Read Psalm 46:
1 God is our refuge and strength [mighty and impenetrable],
A very present and well-proved help in trouble.
2 Therefore we will not fear, though the earth should change
And though the mountains be shaken and slip into the heart of the seas,
3 Though its waters roar and foam,
Though the mountains tremble at its roaring. Selah.
4 There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God,
The holy dwelling places of the Most High.
5 God is in the midst of her [His city], she will not be moved;
God will help her when the morning dawns.
6 The nations made an uproar, the kingdoms tottered and were moved;
He raised His voice, the earth melted.
7 The Lord of hosts is with us;
The God of Jacob is our stronghold [our refuge, our high tower]. Selah.
8 Come, behold the works of the Lord,
Who has brought desolations and wonders on the earth.
9 He makes wars to cease to the end of the earth;
He breaks the bow into pieces and snaps the spear in two;
He burns the chariots with fire.
10 “Be still and know (recognize, understand) that I am God.
I will be exalted among the nations! I will be exalted in the earth.”
11 The Lord of hosts is with us;
The God of Jacob is our stronghold [our refuge, our high tower]. Selah.
Let us pray:
Father God, we read these words and praise you for your mighty power. We thank you for being our helper, our refuge and stronghold. When life throws curve balls at us, let us not trust in ourselves but help us to continue to trust in you. For greater is he who is in us, than he that is in the world. Amen.
