7  The LORD of hosts is with us; The God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah 

8  Come, behold the works of the Lord, Who has made desolations in the earth. 

9  He makes wars cease to the end of the earth; He breaks the bow and cuts the spear in two; He burns the chariot in the fire. 

10  Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!

Psalm 46:7-10

God's people are repeatedly told to know it is God who saves and secures us. When the Egyptian army pressed down upon them at the Red Sea Moses told the people, "Do not be afraid. Stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which He will accomplish for you today" (Exodus 14:13). When facing a fierce enemy, the prophet Jahaziel told the people of Judah and Jerusalem, "Thus says the LORD to you: 'Do not be afraid nor dismayed because of this great multitude, for the battle is not yours, but God's" (2 Chronicles 20:15).

Like Israel, we need to stand still and see the majestic power of God. See His salvation at Calvary. See His victory over death at the empty tomb. See His protection in prayer and His guidance in His Holy Scriptures. God is with us. He is our refuge. He commands His hosts and nothing can withstand Him. He is exalted above every nation and power. When the enemy seems to be at his strongest, never forget that our God is stronger, and He will never forsake us (1 John 4:4; Hebrews 13:5).
