Psalm 46

"God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear through the earth gives way, though the mountains be moved into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam, though the mountains tremble at its swelling, Selah. There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God, the holy habitation of the Most High. God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved; God will help her when morning dawns. The nations rage, the kingdoms totter; he utters his voice, the earth melts. The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress, Selah. Come, behold the works of the Lord, how he has brought desolations on the earth. He makes wars cease to the end of the earth; he breaks the bow and shatters the spear; he burns the chariots 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 of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress. Selah." -Psalm 46

In the midst of a trail, it is hard to utter the words, "God I exalt you. I will not be afraid. I know you're with me." I've experienced that today. Right now, my family is having to make a difficult decisions in the area of my dad's health. I'm going to be totally transparent, I am scared, overwhelmed, and now I'm trying to get through the day.

This morning at church, the worship band sang this song "I will Exalt You" by Hillsong... here's the link >>

God broke me and He took me to Psalm 46. In this song, there's a few lines that go like this:
"Because you're with me, because you're with me, because you're with me, I will not fear."

Throughout today, I have constantly have had to give my worries, fears, and pain to the Lord. Because God is with me there is no room for fear. No matter how painful things are God has reassured me today He is with me, He will take care of me, and He will heal. I can't let a bad doctor's report break me. Just like Psalm 46 says God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. He's there! When the waters roar, when the mountains tremble, I am to pause because God is there. Right now it's very hard, but God tells me to be still and know he is the Lord. He is to be exalted through every circumstance. No matter if it's a bad doctor's report, no matter if it's financially, no matter if it's a heartbreak, or hurts from relationship, God tells me to be still, lean on Him, know He is in control and that no matter what He is to be exalted.

It's extremely hard to write this blog, but I felt like I needed to. I really believe I need to declare that no matter what God is here, I don't have to fear, and that whatever situation He will be exalted over it.
