Today is Friday, January 15th, 2016; Karen's Korner #3225

My favorite Bible is a Life Application one. It was printed in 1971 and given to me by my Aunt Helen around that time.

Today's Karen's Korner talks about 'nuclear blasts'; seems it is something we have been thinking about and threatened by for decades.


"God is our refuge and strength, a tested help in times of trouble. And so we need not fear even if the world blows up, and the mountains crumble into the sea.

Let the oceans roar and foam; let the mountains tremble!"

~ Psalms 46:1 - 3

*

Bible Commentary:  "The fear of mountains or cities suddenly crumbling into the sea by a nuclear blast haunts many people today. But the psalmist says that even if the world ends, 'We need not fear!' Even in the face of utter destruction, he expressed a quiet confidence in God's ability to save him. It seems impossible to face the end of the world without fear, but the Bible is clear---God is our refuge even in the face of total destruction. He is not merely a temporary retreat; he is our eternal refuge and can provide strength even in the face of global destruction."
