Instagram this week paul reflects on psalm 46 to remind us that even when life feels like a

catastrophic disaster we can be still and fearless because god is our refuge sovereign

over every circumstance.

Here's this week's Wednesday's work.

Have you ever watched an action thriller movie featuring a scene of a terrifying natural disaster?

Maybe it's a tsunami or a flood that sweeps away everything in its path.

Maybe it's a fire that consumes an entire city.

Maybe it's an earthquake that splits the ground in half and swallows up everything in sight.

We know these films are unrealistic, wildly exaggerated for Hollywood, and using over-the-top special effects,

but they keep us on the edge of our seats. Perhaps the craziest part is that somehow a mortal human

defies physics and not only survives, but also rescues others in a little boat or helicopter.

Long before movies were made, Psalm 46 painted a similar picture of a natural disaster.

Quote, therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way, though the mountains be moved into the heart of the sea,

though its waters roar and foam, though the mountains tremble at its swelling, end quote.

Psalm 46, 2 and 3.
