NOTE: Watch the video to see the on-screen notes and download the Follow-Along Notes at https://www.jennifergrichmond.com/teaching/dwelling-richly-chill-ep5/ A verse-by-verse Psalm 46 study exploring “be still,” and why we can let go and trust God. What does it mean to “be still” when nothing around you is still? Psalm 46 speaks into a world of roaring waters, shaking mountains, raging nations, and uncertain outcomes—and calls us to behold the works of the LORD. True rest grows as we see who God is, remember what He has done, and entrust what we are holding to His faithful hands. In this fifth and final message from the CHILL: Rethinking Rest & Stress series, Jennifer Richmond walks verse by verse through Psalm 46, exploring its vivid imagery, repeated Hebrew words, and powerful refrain: “The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress.” Rather than treating “Be still and know that I am God” as a peaceful slogan, this study restores the verse to its setting and reveals God's command to cease striving, release our resistance, and acknowledge His sovereign rule. Whether you're studying Psalm 46 on your own, leading a small group, preparing to teach, or struggling to release fear, control, resentment, or an uncertain outcome, this study will help you behold the character and works of God—and understand why you can safely open your hands before Him. In this Bible study you'll discover: • Why Psalm 46 begins with God before describing the trouble • How the repeated Hebrew root mot contrasts moving mountains, tottering kingdoms, and the city that will not be moved • Why “she shall not be moved” refers to Zion, not an individual woman • What the name YHWH Tseva'ot—the LORD of hosts—reveals about God's power and covenant presence • The meaning of harpu—“be still,” “cease,” “release,” or “let go” • How “Come and see” leads from Psalm 46 to Jesus and the empty tomb • Why we can rest while God remains active, sovereign, and faithful • How the entire CHILL study leads us to come, hide, know the I AM, let go, and let God be God Register today for the "Follow Me" discipleship training.

Sermon 08-09-26 - Spiritual Songs, Psalm 46 – Pastor Jason Purdy The Sunday morning sermon of First Baptist Church of Kearney, Nebraska.
Summer in The Psalms Series from Porter Memorial Baptist Church
This week, Pastor Jonathan continues our sermon series through the Psalms with a message from Psalm 46. This passage provides a powerful encouragement and reminder of God's presence and power in our lives even when it's difficult to see: We may face moments of questioning and disconnect where we lose sight of who God is and what He is capable of, but in the midst of it all, we are invited to behold and recognize God as our refuge and strength, and rest in the truth of His power over our lives.
In 1703, dozens of ships anchored in the safest harbor on the English coast. By morning, many of them were gone. Their anchors had been dragging all night — and nobody on deck could feel it. We do the same thing. We drop the anchors of our hearts into good things: work, health, family, a plan that's finally coming together. And in fair weather, we cannot tell the difference between an anchor that's holding and an anchor that's sliding. Psalm 46 is written for the moment we find out. It watches the mountains fall into the sea, the nations rage, and kingdoms collapse — and it says something startling: God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. In this message we walk through all four movements of Psalm 46 and ask what it actually means to "be still and know that I am God" — a verse almost everyone knows and almost everyone misreads. It isn't a call to quiet your feelings. It's a command to stand down. And we'll see why we can: the LORD Almighty of Psalm 46 has a name, and he has already won. In this message: I) When our physical world shatters, God is our stronghold (vv. 1–3) II) When our world is in uproar, God is present (vv. 4–7) III) Seeing what God has done stills our striving (vv. 8–11) IV) Christ fulfills what this psalm promises

July 26, 2026 - "Safe in the City of God" | Psalm 46 by Trinity Western Springs
Where does a Believer's Confidence come from? One source, three reasons… #1-Because God is our UNSHAKEABLE Resistance, vv. 1-3 #2-Because God is our UNRELENTING River, vv. 4-7 #3-Because God is our UNCONQUERABLE Ruler, vv. 8-11

Send me a Text Message!The sabbath is a way of saying, "God it's not just a matter of time, if I had all the time in the world, I still wouldn't be able to finish. I need help. I'm limited." I think one reason we don't sabbath well is because we haven't accepted our limitations. We need to develop a theology of limitations.The sabbath call in Psalm 46 is "Be still and know that I am God." Usually when we think of the word stillness, we think of quiet. Stillness is a lack of noise and sometimes we desperately need times of solitude and silence. But God is notsaying, "Be quiet and know that I am God." The Hebrew word means stop or simply cease. Cease striving. Hands up. Give up. Let Him be God!
Send me a Text Message!We are starting the second mini-series of spiritual practices that bring God's gracious hand upon us. For the next 8-10 episodes we're going talk about keeping the Sabbath. The Sabbath is God's stop-day. And let's be honest, it's so hard. And if you ask why is it so hard to slow down? Isn't the most common answer, well 24/7 living and 24/7 work is what it takes to get ahead. I mean there is so much todo. It's like, "God, if you want to take a day off, that's your business, but you can see that I just don't have time to stop."But here's my question, the sabbath question. What if getting ahead is the wrong race? What if getting ahead is really falling behind and we have to stop in order to catch up with the life that really matters? What if getting ahead is the wrong race?

When you look around the world, do you become fearful?When you hear about conflict in the Middle East, political division here at home, or face your own personal struggles in a sin-soaked world, the natural tendency is to become afraid.This Sunday, we'll be looking at Psalm 46, where the psalmist reminds us that when we trust in the Lord, no matter the headlines, the uncertainty, or the struggles of life, we can have hope.We start with church member Jeff Sypersma reading Psalm 46. The psalm begins with these powerful words: "God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear..."

Psalm 46 Psalm 46 reminds us that God is not only supreme and powerful, but also eternally merciful. By painting the picture of a God who rules over all creation, as well as the warring nations, the Psalmist reminds us of His love and mercy towards His people. That even in the midst of total chaos, our God invites us to be still and know that He is God. By Bram Manusama

One Year Bible Podcast: Join Hunter and Heather Barnes on the Daily Radio Bible, a daily Bible‑in‑a‑year podcast with 20‑minute Scripture readings, Christ‑centered devotion, and guided prayer.This daily Bible reading and devotional invites you to live as a citizen of Jesus' kingdom, reconciled, renewed, and deeply loved. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible! On this July 19th episode, Hunter leads us through another step in our year-long journey through scripture. Today, we'll read from 2 Kings 17, 2 Chronicles 28, Psalm 46, and James 3, exploring stories of Israel's exile, Judah's struggles under King Ahaz, the hope and refuge found in God, and the wisdom and peace offered through Christ. Hunter reflects on how God's love transforms our hearts, the challenges of taming our words, and the invitation to live as peacemakers, filled with the Spirit. Stay with us for scripture, reflection, and prayer as we seek to be shaped by the living Word of God. TODAY'S DEVOTION: When he tames our heart with his love, our lives are changed. It's as if we've been reborn. We begin to live a different kind of life. James is contrasting two different kinds of life here. There is the Spirit-filled life, evidenced by a heart that's being tamed by his love. And there is the heart of the flesh. James points to something as simple and mundane as the tongue and our words. And he shows us that this little tongue of ours simply cannot be tamed. It can't be controlled. It often controls us. It creates circumstances in our lives that are simply beyond or out of our control. It's a flame of fire, he says, and that fire finds its source in hell itself. He tells us that if we could control the tongue, we'd be perfect. But alas, we can't even control this tiny little tongue of ours. And we are not perfect. We can't even affect the change we want in something as simple as the use of our words. It's as futile as trying to draw fresh water from a salty spring, James says. But in Christ, our heart is tamed by his love, and we begin to participate with that love. And we begin to learn to draw from the refreshing springs of Christ, his presence with us and in us daily. We experience something completely different in Christ. We can learn to have wisdom that is pure and peace loving. We can learn to be gentle. We can learn to yield to others, to show mercy, to be sincere, to not show favoritism. We can learn to be peacemakers. A life tamed by his love in the end will yield a harvest of righteous living. James is describing in such beautiful detail here what the Spirit-filled life looks like. And that life is possible if we want it. It's not possible on our own effort, but it is possible when we are captivated, tamed by the love of God. So let us look into the face of Christ and see the One who is love itself. Let us behold the manner of love that has been poured out on us. Unqualified, unconditional, fully received, fully embraced. Let us live in this love of his and let us participate with the Spirit's work by offering that love to others, even today. That's the prayer that I have for my own soul. That's a prayer that I have for my family, for my wife, my daughters, my son. And that's a prayer that I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen. Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you, and find you. Bring the nations into your fold, pour out your Spirit on all flesh, and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen. And now Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon. Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope. Where there is darkness, light. And where there is sadness, Joy. Oh Lord grant that I might not seek to be consoled as to console. To be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love. For it is in the giving that we receive, in the pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in the dying that we are born unto eternal life. Amen And now as our Lord has taught us we are bold to pray... Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our tresspasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not unto temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. Loving God, we give you thanks for restoring us in your image. And nourishing us with spiritual food, now send us forth as forgiven people, healed and renewed, that we may proclaim your love to the world, and continue in the risen life of Christ. Amen.

"Be still, and know that I am God." — Psalm 46:10In Hebrew, the phrase "be still" literally means to stop — to let go. Let go of the fight. Let go of control. Trust that God is God, and we are not.We trust pilots with our lives without knowing their names. We trust Uber drivers with our safety without seeing their record. Yet we hesitate to trust the God who holds the entire universe in his hands. What would it look like to surrender control today and trust God with the outcomes we've been white-knuckling?God doesn't promise an unshakable life — he promises an unshakable Himself. And that changes everything.
