Reading these verses gives us hope in no matter what comes our way God is our strength, refuge, deliverer, fortress, rock and shield. How do we find this when things around us seem to be falling apart? I am not sure in the heat of it we can do more than claim it and gain peace by laying it as His feet. Trust in, rely on, and cling to Him alone. It is a good time for those of us who’s world is not falling apart to be an encouragement to those who need it. Stay close to God, listen for His guidance, and obey His leading.
