My personal study and preaching of Psalm 46 yesterday moved me to see God’s sovereignty beyond anything I’ve ever imagined or considered. This week will be a little different for our morning devotionals. Each day I want to encourage you to read Psalm 46:1-11 and then listen to a spiritual song that highlight the sovereignty of God. Look for different thoughts coming from the psalm each day you read it. Today’s song has lyrics straight from Psalm 46. It is called Into the Sea by Tasha Layton.
Psalm 46:1-11
God is our refuge and strength,
A very present help in trouble.
Therefore we will not fear,
Even though the earth be removed,
And though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;
Though its waters roar and be troubled,
Though the mountains shake with its swelling.
There is a river whose streams shall make glad the city of God,
The holy place of the tabernacle of the Most High.
God is in the midst of her, she shall not be moved;
God shall help her, just at the break of dawn.
The nations raged, the kingdoms were moved;
He uttered His voice, the earth melted.
The Lord of hosts is with us;
The God of Jacob is our refuge.
Come, behold the works of the Lord,
Who has made desolations in the earth.
He makes wars cease to the end of the earth;
He breaks the bow and cuts the spear in two;
He burns the chariot in the 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 refuge.
