Amidst the chaotic turmoil of our current environment, you can rest assured that the Lord is still on His throne.

A brief word of encouragement from Psalm 46:1-3:

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.

Steve Lawson in the Holman Commentary provides the following insights:

Having understood the all-sustaining power of God, the psalmist wrote, “We will not fear.” This is a bold statement of confidence in God inspired by the greatness of the Almighty. Regardless of what the psalmist and the people of God face, they have no reason to fear. God is in control.

 The psalmist continued, “Though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea.”

 This is a picture of confusion, represented as a momentous earthquake that caused an upheaval of the tall, lofty mountains. The mountains, representing stability and continuity, seem to collapse into the sea; “and the waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with their surging.” This imagery conveys earthshaking circumstances. As the mountains crash into the sea, the sea responds by flooding outside of its assigned barriers. In spite of all this turmoil that pictures devastating circumstances seemingly out of control, we will not fear. God is in control.

Remember what Spurgeon said,

“The sovereignty of God is the pillow upon which the child of God rests his head at night, giving perfect peace.”
