God is our refuge and strength,
“Strength”– as we can read in Psalms 18:1; 28:7; 73:26. Not armies, not fortifications, not human strength or tactics, but God Himself is our refuge, strength and help of His people. If we are in God, the mighty and eternal refuge, who or what can harm us Psalms 23:4? And why should we fear as if we were not in Him? Believers don’t need to fear, even in natural disasters such as are described here, or in the upheaval of nations and societies. These are sometimes symbolized in the Bible by mountains and bodies of water or floods, as we can clearly read and study in the books of Isaiah 17:12; 59:19; Jeremiah 46:7-8; 47:1-2; 51:24-25; Daniel 2:35 and Revelation 17:1, 15.
a very present help in trouble.
Therefore we will not fear,
though the earth be removed,
and though the mountains be carried into
the middle of the sea,
Though its waters roar and are in turmoil,
though the mountains shake with its
surging. Selah
Psalms 46:1-3
Much LoVe, JoY, Peace and Blessings through Jesus Christ, our wonderful, almighty dear caring Lord, Saviour and Redeemer, in who we faithfully abide, trust, believe, and abundantly do receive throughout His marvelous righteous Word and truth fulfilling Holy Spirit.
