The Earth Melted

God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah. There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the most High. God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her, and that right early. The heathen raged, the kingdoms were moved: he uttered his voice, the earth melted. - Psalms 46:1-6

In the midst of troublesome times (they do and will come) it is great to realize that there is still a city of God, an unshakable ground in His presence. Surely everything else may fail, but He will not; all around us may fall, He will stand strong... How precious is the still small voice of He who commands the seas, "Peace, be still."
