Read Psalm 46:1 God is our refuge and strength. As Eugene - TopicsExpress



          

Read Psalm 46:1 God is our refuge and strength. As Eugene Peterson paraphrases it in The Message, God is a safe place to hide. Chasah, or refuge, is a word thats needed when a nation finds itself shaking on the rock. The news of tragic events in our country and our world is enough to grab you by the neck and make you tremble. Several years ago, I found myself not sleeping very well due to some of these events—that is, until I remembered Psalm 46 and called to mind my chasah, a very present help in trouble. Charles Spurgeon writes, As God is all-sufficient, our defense and our might are equal to all emergencies. . . . He is not as the swallows that leave us in the winter; He is a Friend in need, and a Friend indeed. When it is very dark with us, let brave spirits say, Come, let us sing the forty-sixth!
