“The nations are in chaos, and their kingdoms crumble.” (Psalm 46:6 NLT)
The whole world is in chaos. Sickness and death continue to spread. The global economy is in recession. Schools, businesses, and services are closed. Unemployment is high. Suffering is pervasive. During these times of hardship and uncertainty, it is natural to be overwhelmed by fear, anxiety, anger, confusion, and sadness. Most of us cycle through these emotions on a daily basis.
We are not the first generation to face such immense calamities. The Israelites faced decades of affliction. They discovered much about God during times of uncertainty. They recognized the Lord’s presence. They sensed that He was a place of safety. As circumstances became more and more unmanageable, they learned to depend on God.
“The Lord of Heaven’s armies is here among us. The God of Israel is our fortress.” (Psalm 46:7 NLT)
Lord, help us to be fearless as we stand on the precipice of disaster. Strengthen us. Reveal Your presence. Show us that You go before us and that you have our back. Keep us safe.
