Read Psalm 46.
The first words of this psalm announce its theme: God is our refuge, our fortress, and shelter. God is also our strength, our help. He is the one who deals with the trials and struggles surrounding us. Because God is our refuge and help, we have nothing to fear, even if tragedies and challenges are thrown our way.
Our faith is always being subjected to storms and earthquakes. Where can we find safety and security? Reread Psalm 46. God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Therefore, we will not fear.
There is a certain and trustworthy basis for our faith. God who created the earth including everything and made us is in control. His love for us never leaves. In all circumstances, no matter how terrible or frightening, our unchanging God is our refuge and strength. In what ways has God been your refuge and strength?
God help us remember this Psalm when our worlds shake and our hearts tremble in fear. Shelter us, Jesus, in your strong, safe arms. Amen.
