BibleGateway.com Psalm 47
If there was one thing we are to always sing praises, it is the work of our God. He has done an amazing work to bring us into his family. The Lord died so that we might have life. The Lord rose again so that we can have hope. He is the King of the Universe and Creator of all things.
Verse 9 shows us that our God is in control of all the rulers of this world. They can do nothing unless he lets them and in a second he will remove them from power so that his name and word will spread to people that never have heard of him before. Praise to our God who is Lord of all!

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.
