God Is Our Refuge And Strength

 

God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with their surging.

 

Psalm 46:1-3

 

To hear the words to the song “All Is Well” should put your mind at ease.

 

The words can be comforting, but not if your life is in turmoil. If you have lost a loved one, been un-employed, or have health issues, all may not be well.

 

For us who celebrate the birth of our Savior – despite the dark night of the soul we may experience – all is well because of Christ. We are not alone in our pain. God is beside us and promises never to leave. He promises that His grace will be sufficient. He promises to supply all of our needs. And He promises us the amazing gift of eternal life.

 

God’s peace pillows the head

 when God’s promises calm the heart.
