Good Morning Friends.
It is really cold here in Wisconsin and I am headed out duck hunting this morning. My Thermos is filled with Door County Pumpkin Spice Coffee. We all face a crisis from time to time. Some last longer than others. I have always felt that when I was going through a crisis Psalm 46 gave me the assurance that I would make it and God was there for me. I have highlighted some important insights that can help. Keep this Psalm handy in your Bible medicine chest.
Psalm 46
1 God is our refuge and strength, Who is our refuge and available to help always? GOD
an ever-present help in trouble.
2 Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way GOD removes fear despite circumstances
and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea,
3 though its waters roar and foam
and the mountains quake with their surging.[c]
an ever-present help in trouble.
2 Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way GOD removes fear despite circumstances
and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea,
3 though its waters roar and foam
and the mountains quake with their surging.[c]
4 There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God, Who can make me glad in a crisis? GOD
the holy place where the Most High dwells.
5 God is within her, she will not fall;
God will help her at break of day.
6 Nations are in uproar, kingdoms fall; Who rules the Earth? GOD
he lifts his voice, the earth melts.
the holy place where the Most High dwells.
5 God is within her, she will not fall;
God will help her at break of day.
6 Nations are in uproar, kingdoms fall; Who rules the Earth? GOD
he lifts his voice, the earth melts.
7 The Lord Almighty is with us;
the God of Jacob is our fortress. Who is a fort that can hide us and protect us? GOD

8 Come and see what the Lord has done,
the desolations he has brought on the earth.
9 He makes wars cease
to the ends of the earth. Who can bring peace? GOD
He breaks the bow and shatters the spear;
he burns the shields[d] with fire.
10 He says, “Be still, and know that I am God; Who says "Don't do it alone?" God
I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth.”

Think about it. Before you call a friend when you are in a crisis. Did you pray and ask God to help first? Or did you call a human with less than God's resume for crisis management?
Have a great day.
