God is our refuge and strength, always ready to help in
times of trouble. So we will not fear when earthquakes come and the
mountains crumble into the sea. Psalm 46:1-2
I have thoroughly enjoyed watching this year’s Summer
Olympics and will be kind of sad when the games conclude later today. It
has been refreshing to take a break from the regularly scheduled ‘junk’ for the
past two weeks and also a nice change of pace not to hear the foolish bickering
of politicians and the constant reaffirmation that we live in a broken world,
which is evident when watching reality TV or the news for any amount of time.
It is when we recognize that sin has corrupted this world
that we are no longer surprised or overwhelmed by all of the troubles you see
in the world. You see, God is greater than any problem or threat that we
can ever face in our lifetime.
We must constantly ask God to stay close to us at all
times. Jesus promises us that we will face certain troubles during our
lifetime, but He also promises that to always comfort us and help us when we
are afraid.
