Our title for the message this week is from verse 1 of Psalm 46 in which verse 6 says "The nations raged." This certainly could be a description of the world in which we live and especially about the nations surrounding Israel.
Almost daily we hear of the extremely unstable conditions in Syria which is on the Northern border of Israel. Likewise on the Southern border is a similar unstable scenario in Egypt. Last Thursday, Israel closed an airport at Eilat on the Red Sea reacting to threats of rockets to be fired at the resort town. The next day five militants were killed and a rocket launcher destroyed resulting from what is believed to be an Israeli Drone attack.
Yes, we could say that Syria and Egypt are raging as Psalm 46 predicts. How should we as God's people and especially those living in Israel react to all this? We should turn to God's word in general and to Psalm 46 in particular for peace and comfort. Notice the following words of strength and comfort in Psalm 46: Verse 1 "God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble; Verse 2 Therefore we will not fear; Verse 7 The Lord of hosts is with us, The God of Jacob is our refuge; Verse 10 Be still, and know that I am God, I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!"
Lord, we pray Your Words of peace and comfort in Psalm 46 and similar words in Your Holy Book will be real to the people of Israel each and every day and they also will remember how you have lifted them out of trouble and difficulty numerous times in the past and will do it now and in the future according to Your Word, AMEN!
May The Lord Bless You And Keep You In His Care This Day And Each Day,
Frank
