Reflection Questions:

1) Compare Psalm 46:1 to Hebrews 4:15-16. What do these verses tell you about God’s character and His willingness to help you? Also see I John 5:14; Matthew 6:8; 6:31-34.

2) Read Psalm 46:4-7; Hebrews 11:8-10; and Philippians 3:20-21. What type of city, and what type of citizenship are these verses ultimately pointing to? Also see I Corinthians 15:19.

3) Does “being still” mean that we stop praying and stop all activity? Consider Philippians 4:6-7; 1 Cor. 15:58; 1 Thess. 5:16-18; Proverbs 16:9; Psalm 127.
