Mike Malagies ~ God Is Trying To Tell You This NOW

God the Refuge of His People.

To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of the sons of Korah, set to soprano voices. A Song.

1 God is our refuge and strength [mighty and impenetrable],
A very present and well-proved help in trouble.

2 Therefore we will not fear, though the earth should change
And though the mountains be shaken and slip into the heart of the seas,

3 Though its waters roar and foam,
Though the mountains tremble at its roaring. Selah.

4 There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God,
The holy dwelling places of the Most High.

5 God is in the midst of her [His city], she will not be moved;
God will help her when the morning dawns.

6 The nations made an uproar, the kingdoms tottered and were moved;
He raised His voice, the earth melted.

7 The LORD of hosts is with us;
The God of Jacob is our stronghold [our refuge, our high tower]. Selah.

8 Come, behold the works of the LORD,
Who has brought desolations and wonders on the earth.

9 He makes wars to cease to the end of the earth;
He breaks the bow into pieces and snaps the spear in two;
He burns the chariots with fire.

10 “Be still and know (recognize, understand) that I am God.
I will be exalted among the nations! I will be exalted in the earth.”

11 The LORD of hosts is with us;
The God of Jacob is our stronghold [our refuge, our high tower]. Selah.

Psalm 46:1-11 (AMP)

Psalm 91:14-16 – Because He Sets His Love On Me…

14 “Because he set his love on Me, therefore I will save him;
I will set him [securely] on high, because he knows My name [he confidently trusts and relies on Me, knowing I will never abandon him, no, never].

15 “He will call upon Me, and I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble;
I will rescue him and honor him.

16 “With a long life I will satisfy him
And I will let him see My salvation.”

Psalm 91:14-16 (AMP)

Mike Malagies ~ God Knew You Needed to See This

“You will keep in [a]perfect and constant peace the one whose mind is steadfast [that is, committed and focused on You—in both [b]inclination and character],
Because he trusts and takes refuge in You [with hope and confident expectation].

Isaiah 26:3 (AMP)

Footnotes

[a] Isaiah 26:3 Lit peace, peace, a Hebrew idiom of emphasis.

[b] Isaiah 26:3 The Hebrew word for inclination became a technical term in Jewish tradition, and the rabbis frequently referred to the “evil inclination” much in the same sense as the sin nature. They also recognized a “good inclination,” which the righteous choose to follow, and urged people to make their good inclination king over the evil inclination.
