We will not fear
Meditating on Psalm 46 today and feel surprised that the psalmist is able to declare that “though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea,” we don’t need to be afraid. But aren’t those things just so tremendous and terrible? Those are end-of-the-world catastrophes (which we feel personally on a smaller scale in losing a job, losing a loved one, a terrible divorce, or a war ensuing), and yet God is greater and more powerful than all those things, and HE is our refuge and our strength. Sometimes I’m just filled with fears about the unknown future — like this morning when I woke up — but God reminds me that He is All-mighty, He is our fortress, and He is our strength, therefore we will not fear.
