Today is Wednesday, March 20th, 2024; Karen's Korner #5083

Our today's ecumenical Bible study; we were assigned to read five specific chapters in Psalms. The reading reminded me why I enjoy them. Many of the writings are positive.

Today's 'korner', I am sharing a couple of the verses:'

"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 ocean roar and foam;
let the mountains tremble."

~ Psalm 46:1 - 3 LAB

*

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 id our eternal refuge and can provide strength even in the face of global destruction."
