God’s Complete Control

July 02, 2021by Pastor Chuck SwindollScriptures: Psalm 46:1–3, 7, 10

God is our refuge and strength,
A very present help in trouble.
Therefore we will not fear, though the earth should change
And though the mountains slip into the heart of the sea;
Though its waters roar and foam,
Though the mountains quake at its swelling pride. Selah . . . .
The LORD of hosts is with us;
The God of Jacob is our stronghold. Selah . . . .
“Cease striving and know that I am God.” (Psalm 46:1–3, 7, 10)

Quiet our hearts, dear Father, and in so doing, remind us that You are sovereign—not almost sovereign but altogether sovereign. Nothing occurs in our lives that has not been masterfully planned and put together by You, our eternal God. Help us to enter into the truth of Psalm 46:10 personally and consistently. May that result in being still, enabling us to discover that You are God. As we cast our cares upon You, knowing You care for us, release our stress.

We entrust our concerns to You today . . . large and small, new and nagging. We long to experience peace-filled living by stepping off this treadmill called pressurized living. We pray that Your mighty presence would take the place of the stress, the demands, the struggles, the mess we’ve created. We ask that You would give us Your shalom—Your peace—like we’ve never known it before. We deliberately choose to trust You and to rest in You.

In the name of Jesus. Amen.
