Under Seige

As we endure continued attacks from the enemy, I thought it might help to share part of a conversation I had today.


I have searched for this verse previously without much success, today when I needed to see it I had no trouble finding it.

Psalm 46:7

The LORD of hosts is with us; The God of Jacob is our fortress. Selah (KJV)

"The LORD of hosts" is also translated "The LORD of Heaven's Armies"
Selah (Hebrew) is used to stress the importance of a preceding passage- the Amplified Bible says it means "pause, and think of that". 
Clark's commentary on the Bible defines it as: Selah- This is a firm, lasting, unshaken, well-tried truth.

I can't think of anyone better to have on our side going through this than the LORD of Heaven's Armies.  Doubt is a tool of the enemy, but I take heart in knowing that the LORD of Heaven's Armies is with us, he is our fortress and refuge.


Psalm 47 goes on to say:

10 Be still and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth. (KJV)
