The passage we looked at in yesterday’s message has several key verses we will want to hide in our heart. The first two verses should be at the top of our list:
1 God is our refuge and strength,
an ever-present help in trouble.
2 Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea, (Psalm 46: 1-2)
When things are crumbling and our world is shaken. God has not failed us. He has promised to be with us in the middle of it all. We sometimes think that when we find ourselves in difficult circumstances that God has abandoned us, but this is not the case.
God is our ever-present refuge even when we consider the earth removed and the mountains carried away—possibly the most frightening imaginable happening. For our God is greater!
May we have the faith of the writer inside the Auschwitz Concentration Camp who wrote on the wall, ”I believe in the sun even when it is not shining. I believe in Love, even when I am alone. I believe in God, even when he is silent. Even in the midst of tragic circumstance God is still present, even when it is hard to see or perceive him.”
