Psalm 46:8
Come and see the works of the Lord, the desolations he has brought on the earth.
Being by reviewing v1-7 of Psalm 46. Can you do it?
Add on today's verse. Repeat it over and over throughout your day today, whenever you can find moments to redeem the time.
Yesterday I was at my kids' school, helping one of their teachers by doing some photocopying, taping, laminating and cutting. Talk about a mindless task! So, I set my iPhone up beside me and called up Psalm 46 and reviewed it. There are always moments like that in our days. We just need to be purposeful about redeeming the time.
Today's verse is a call to stop and ponder the works of God that He has done our behalf of those who put their faith in Him. Come and see His amazing works, desolations so huge that they could only be supernatural, judgments upon those - such as Assyria, Babylon - who have mocked His name or worshiped other gods. This is the all powerful God that is our refuge and help. This is the One that we can rely on in times of trouble. This is the One who is within us, who will not let us fall, who will help us, who is our fortress. Come and see!
Please join us as we seek to know God by memorizing His Word in context. Convicted and inspired by Janet Pope's His Word in My Heart we are learning to redeem the time by including Scripture memory in our daily routines.
LeRoy Eims on the importance of Scripture memory: "I think two of the master strokes of the devil have been to convince people he doesn't exist, and that Scripture memory is only for children. He remembers the humility of defeat when Jesus Christ, who was tempted in all points like as we are, met him with the Word of God." (What Every Christian Should Know About Growing; p. 26-27)
