“For God alone my soul waits in
silence; from him
comes my salvation. He alone
is my rock and my salvation, my fortress; I shall never be
shaken.”
(Psalm
62:1-2)
“It
kind of freaked us out,” a UCLA architectural student commented following
Monday’s 4.4 magnitude earthquake in Southern California. I
remember my own experience with the earthquake that hit our region a few years
back. I shared the UCLA student’s
assessment in the immediate aftermath of that quake for it kind of freaked me out
too!
In the midst of an earthquake or storm, one
seeks shelter. The Psalmist finds his
shelter in God. Trusting in the Lord, he
affirms, “I shall never be shaken.”
The earth may move, the winds may howl, and yes, the snows may continually come,
but God is an ever-present help in time of trouble…our rock, our salvation, and
our fortress.
Prayer: Gracious God, Rock of Ages, for
your sheltering arms about us, we give you thanks. Amen.
