Psalm 46

Lookup: Psalm 46

Verse 9
He makes wars cease to the ends of the earth;
he breaks the bow and shatters the spear,
he burns the shields with fire.

God is in control of all! He will break and burn this earth (v6-9). Then God makes a interesting turn in the midst off all the power against the nations. Verse 10, "Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth."

Yet the earth and the nations fight in vain. Have you ever wrestled with a little kid? At some point it is no longer fun. The child never learns that he can not win. Until you hold him and say, "Be still!" I figure this is what the Lord is saying to the nations. I have controlled every move in your rebelliousness against me. I have never given in an inch. Stop now! You will exalt the Lord whether you like it or not. He never changes, never compromises and will never lose. Every knee will bow and every tongue will confess Jesus to be Lord. It would be best if you started now.
