Wednesday Word: Just on a Thursday

Yesterday didn’t quite go the way I intended, and for the first time since I began blogging, I missed my Wednesday post.

As I was thinking about how I feel like I’m in a desert season with my writing, I was reminded of one of my favorite Psalms and decided simply to share it with you, in case you find yourself in a place where you’re struggling too:

Psalm 46

1 God is our refuge and strength,
    an ever-present help in trouble.
2 Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way
    and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea,
3 though its waters roar and foam
    and the mountains quake with their surging.

4 There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God,
    the holy place where the Most High dwells.
5 God is within her, she will not fall;
    God will help her at break of day.
6 Nations are in uproar, kingdoms fall;
    he lifts his voice, the earth melts.

7 The Lord Almighty is with us;
    the God of Jacob is our fortress.

8 Come and see what the Lord has done,
    the desolations he has brought on the earth.
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.
10 He says, “Be still, and know that I am God;
    I will be exalted among the nations,
    I will be exalted in the earth.”

11 The Lord Almighty is with us;
    the God of Jacob is our fortress.

God’s got this. The desert season never lasts forever. Take heart, friends.

Blessings,
