God Is Our Place Of Safety
God is our
place of safety. He gives us strength. He is always there to help us in times
of trouble. The earth may fall apart.
The mountains
may fall into the middle of the sea. But we will not be afraid. The waters of
the sea may roar and foam. The mountains may shake when the waters rise. But we
will not be afraid. Selah
God's blessings are like a river. They fill the city of
Nations are in disorder. Kingdoms fall. God speaks, and the people of the earth
melt in fear. The Lord who rules over all is with us. The God of Jacob is like
a fort to us. Selah
Come and see what the Lord has done. See the places he has destroyed on the
earth. He makes wars stop from one end of the earth to the other. He breaks
every bow. He snaps every spear. He burns every shield with fire. He says,
"Be still, and know that I am God. I will be honored among the nations. I
will be honored in the earth." The Lord who rules over all is with us. The
God of Jacob is like a fort to us. Selah
Psalm 46:1-11
When we experience tragedy, we may wonder about God’s goodness. He is
good, never question that. He does not promise that bad things will never
happen to us. He does promise to be our strength and our refuge. He does not
promise that we will never walk through heart-wrenching circumstances, but He
promises that we will not walk alone. God is good – no matter what suffering we
are experiencing. Even when we don’t understand, we can rejoice
in knowing God loves us.
God tests our
faith so that we may trust His faithfulness.
