Psalm 46

He is my refuge and my strength, when I quit looking to myself or others...am I the only one, please tell me I'm not?  Is it bad habit formation?  Is that why I struggle so much some times, because of my knee-jerk reaction to look toward self rather than Almighty God?  And as I'm busy looking, searching, struggling...He's waiting

Be still and know that I am God.  I am exalted among the nations, I am exalted in the earth!  The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge (fortress).
†Psalm 46:10-11

All is changing, except God. My hope should lie in Him. Let me be bold, my hope lies in Him!

Please consider joining me each week as I pray my way through the Psalms. Just a simple meditation, a prayer, a reflection, even an Amen...so be it.

For your consideration...I have recently begun using the acronym S.O.A.P. in my daily Bible reading. I came across this method of reading, meditating and praying with the Scriptures at Mom's Tool Box.   (You can also google it for more information.)  This may be a helpful starting place in praying through the Psalms with me.

Scripture
Observation
Application
Prayer

Using the example of Psalm 46:
•I read the Scripture passage
•I go back to a verse that struck me. What is my observation about this particular verse? What made it stick out to me?
•How does that verse apply to me or how could I apply that verse to my life right now?
•I use that verse in my prayer, my conversation, with my heavenly Father.
