Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who know the Lord of ost is with us. In Jesus’ name, amen.
Ever watch the news and wonder about how nations make choices? There is a phrase that describes such behavior: Countries act in their own national self-interest? Is there any wonder nations’ parallel human behavior? Even though nations rage and kingdoms totter, God is in control. God is with us.
Psalm 46:4-7 (ESV):
“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 ”
Are you acting in your own interest? Do you think about God being with you?
The impact of this can be life changing for nations and individuals.
When Ancient Israel was following God, the nation thrived. Conversely, when the people abandoned God, calamity followed. The same is true personally. God is with you as you go about your day. Watch how being aware God is with you changes how you conduct yourself and interact with others.
