Psalm 46

Psalm 46:1-2 – God is our refuge and strength, always ready to help in times of trouble. 2So we will not fear when earthquakes come and the mountains crumble into the sea. NLT

John 16:33 – I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world.” NLT

2 Cor 12:7-10 – even though I have received such wonderful revelations from God. So to keep me from becoming proud, I was given a thorn in my flesh, a messenger from Satan to torment me and keep me from becoming proud.

8Three different times I begged the Lord to take it away. 9Each time he said, “My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.” So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me.

10That’s why I take pleasure in my weaknesses, and in the insults, hardships, persecutions, and troubles that I suffer for Christ. For when I am weak, then I am strong. NLT

Psalm 46:3-4 – Let the oceans roar and foam. Let the mountains tremble as the waters surge! 4A river brings joy to the city of our God, the sacred home of the Most High. NLT

Revelation 22:1 – Then the angel showed me a river with the water of life, clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb. NLT

Psalm 46:5-9 – God dwells in that city; it cannot be destroyed. From the very break of day, God will protect it. 6The nations are in chaos, and their kingdoms crumble! God’s voice thunders, and the earth melts!

7The Lord of Heaven’s Armies is here among us; the God of Israel is our fortress. 8Come, see the glorious works of the Lord: See how he brings destruction upon the world.

9He causes wars to end through-out the earth. He breaks the bow and snaps the spear; he burns the shields with fire. NLT

2 Kings 19:34-36 – For my own honor and for the sake of my servant David, I will defend this city and protect it.” 35That night the angel of the Lord went out to the Assyrian camp and killed 185,000 Assyrian soldiers.

When the surviving Assyrians woke up the next morning, they found corpses everywhere. 36Then King Sennacherib of Assyria broke camp and returned to his own land. He went home to his capital of Nineveh and stayed there. NLT

John 14:16-17 – “And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate, who will never leave you. 17He is the Holy Spirit, who leads into all truth. …NLT
