We have wars, earthquakes, violence, divorce, drugs, child abuse, humanism, the occult. When world events and tragedies like the collapse of the bridge in Minneapolis seem ominous and unsettling to us or when personal sorrows confront us, where can we go but to the Lord? How comforting it is to know that we can always flee to God and rest securely on our "Solid Rock." God is always present to help, providing refuge, security, and peace. God's power is complete and his ultimate victory is certain. He will not fail to rescue those who love him.

The fear of cities suddenly crumbling into the river will haunt many people today. But the psalmist says that even if the world ends, we need not fear. In the face of utter destruction, the writer of Psalm 46 expressed a quiet confidence in God's ability to save. It seems impossible to consider the end of the world without becoming consumed by fear, but the Bible is clear - God is our refuge even in the face of total destruction. He is not merely a temporary retreat; he is our eternal refuge and can provide strength in any circumstance.

Many great cities have bridges, sustaining people's mobility and facilitating trade with other cities, but it is God who sustains people's lives. As long as God lives, we can face tomorrow. War and destruction are inevitable, but so is God's final victory. In times like these, all must stand quietly before the Lord Almighty. "Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!"  Psalms 46:10.

"In times like these you need a Savior, in times like these you need an anchor, be very sure, be very sure your anchor holds and grips the Solid Rock  This Rock is Jesus!
