Had a friend last week who rhetorically asked 'So where do you think this week's quake will hit?' Yikes. It seems to be a wobbly world we're inhabiting of late, but perhaps it seems so because we have such unprecedented communication access - researching online I see there were 10 quakes yesterday, from northern Alaska to Chile (and L.A.) Having experienced SoCal quakes, I know the fear that strikes when the earth moves, but today's Encouraging Word from Psalm 46 is a fear salve - "GOD is our refuge and our strength a very present help in trouble." That's verse 1; verse 2 reads "Therefore we will not fear though the earth be removed and though the mountains be carried into the sea."
Whether we experience a physical earthquake, emotional or spiritual one, know that HE is your strength and refuge to which you can flee for safety.
