Psalm 46 is a powerful statement about God’s protection for His people. A sermon on verse one could have the following points, with a few suggested scriptures to spark further thinking:
1. God is our refuge (Psa. 91:1-2; Prov. 18:10; Heb. 6:18).
2. God is our strength (2 Sam. 22:17-20; 2 Tim. 4:17; Eph. 3:16; Phil. 4:13).
3. God is present (Deut. 4:7; Heb. 13:5)
4. God is our help (Acts 26:22; John 14:26).
