He Lifts His Voice, The Earth Melts

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.

There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God, the holy place where the Most High dwells.

God is within her, she will not fall; God will help her at break of day.

Nations are in uproar, kingdoms fall; he lifts his voice, the earth melts.

The Lord Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress.

Psalm 46:1-7

Stop thinking in the world of “what if,” and start thinking in the world of “what is.” The grief is real and the sadness endures, but life is better and God is honored if we dwell in the world of “what is.”

We all wish to avoid the tragedies of life. But when we do face hard times, our greatest hope comes from trusting God, our sure hope in the land of “what is.”

Our greatest hope comes from trusting God.
