God Is Our Refuge

"And He arose and rebuked the wind and said to the sea,

"Peace! Be still!" 

And the wind ceased and there was a great calm."

Mark 4:39

"Peace Be Still"

Stephen Gjertson

A prayer for protection and shelter for the people in 

the Bahamas and Florida and across other areas of the

southeastern United States whom may be caught in

the path of this dangerous approaching hurricane.

PSALM 46

A Psalm of the sons of Korah

God is our Refuge and Strength, mighty and impenetrable

to temptation, a very present and well-proved help in trouble.

Therefore we will not fear, though the earth should change and

though the mountains be shaken into the midst of the seas.

Though its waters roar and foam, though the mountains tremble

at its swelling and tumult. Selah, pause and calmly think of that!

There is a river whose streams shall make glad the city of God,

the holy place of the tabernacles of the Most High.

God is in the midst of her, she shall not be moved; God will help

her right early at the dawn of the morning. 

The nations raged, the kingdoms tottered and were moved;

He utter His voice, the earth melted.

The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our Refuge,

our Fortress and High Tower. Selah pause, and calmly think of that!

Come, behold the works of the Lord, Who has wrought desolations

and wonders in the earth.

He makes wars to cease to the ends of the earth; He breaks the bow

into pieces and snaps the spear in two; He burns the chariots in the fire.

Let be and be still, and know, recognize and understand that I am God.

I will be exalted among the nations! I will be exalted in the earth!

The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our Refuge,

our High Tower and Stronghold. Selah pause, and calmly think of that!
