Psalm 46 Reflection

God is there in the isolation with his arms wrapped around us
He is there in the challenges holding up our arms when they just want to fall
He is there in the all, in the everything, in all moments
With help facing devastation, and the troubles that lie ahead. 

And we’ll try not to fear, yet the fear overwhelms us
Though everything feels like it’s breaking up in pieces before us
Though all that was strong is torn down in the storm
Though the floods threat is to consume us and the barriers give way.....

There left behind is a river where life is lived in all fullness
God is here and he lives, Word made flesh dwells amongst us.
God is here, there is Hope, there is promise, there is future
A new dawn will rise, because the brokenness will not last forever. 

Nations run, nations swirl, nations crash to the floor
People seek self before all and leave others flailing behind them
But God the creator, he speaks, do not harm them and all wait..... 

God is here. God is here. God is here. 







Come and see because before you lies his story of healing
Of devastation overturned, re-restored, and unfaded
He ends the pain of this unknown, the enemy lying before us
And it changes, all changes as the attacker is left dormant

He breaks the chain, stops the spread, and destroys it completely 

Saying

Be still. Be still my child and know that I dwell among you
I hold your hand in your pain
I sit beside you in your loneliness
I bring my peace to your racing mind
I shut your eyes for a while so you can’t see

Rest in me and be still. Be still and know that in the darkness light will always shine.
