## Resource

Psalm 46: The Stillness at the Center of the Storm There is a kind of courage that holds its ground, and there is a deeper kind that sits down. "Be still, and know that I am God" is not advice for a quiet morning — it is a command issued in the middle of a world coming apart. The earth is being removed. The mountains are sliding into the sea. The waters are roaring. The nations are raging. And into this pandemonium, God speaks not a battle cry but an invitation to stillness. It is as if the Almighty were saying: the thing you are most tempted to do right now — panic, strategize, fight — is precisely the thing I am asking you not to do. Instead, know. Not know about Me, but know Me. The psalm begins where all real faith begins: not with what we must do for God, but with what God already is. "God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble." Not a distant help, not an eventual help, but a very present one — as near as your own breathing. And flowing through the chaos, almost unnoticed, there is a river whose streams make glad the city of God. In the loudest storm, the quietest water. 00:00 Our Refuge and Strength 01:00 Be Still and Know
