THE WORD WE LIVE IN

Mountain-moving earthquakes.  Devastating floods.  It’s not just the world we’re living in any more, but rather, the Word as well. 

You don’t have to go any further than your desktop “newsstand” to see the times that we’re living in.  Any more, the world reflects the Word.

What’s peaceful about a ravaging flood or devastating earthquake?  Absolutely nothing—unless you walk with God.  Wouldn’t you rather walk with someone that allows such things to happen than against?

The good news of Psalm 46 is that although such calamities go on, there is coming a time of their antithesis.  Where there is tumultuous nature, it will be replaced with placidness, and where there are wars that impudently snub their collective nose at peace’s Prince, they will be the victim of violence themselves, that their mayhem will come to a devastating end. 

The best news is that you don’t have to wait to have peace in the midst of turmoil—and if you come into a relationship with the personification of peace before being found midst the world’s disasters, how much greater that peace will be.

King James Version (KJV)

Psalm 46

 ¹God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
 ²Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;
 ³Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah.
 ⁴There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the most High.
 ⁵God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her, and that right early.
 ⁶The heathen raged, the kingdoms were moved: he uttered his voice, the earth melted.
 ⁷The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.
 ⁸Come, behold the works of the LORD, what desolations he hath made in the earth.
 ⁹He maketh wars to cease unto the end of the earth; he breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear in sunder; he burneth the chariot in the fire.
 ¹⁰Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.
 ¹¹The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.
