There is a river - its streams delight the city of God, the holy dwelling place of the Most High.  God is within her; she will not be toppled.

God will help her when the morning dawns.

Nations rage, kingdoms topple; the earth melts when he lifts his voice.  The Lord of Armies is with us; the God of Jacob is our stronghold. 

Selah

Psalms 46:4-7 CSB

Remember that this is a song, and songs are often  about the picture, the story, the feelings.

The river that's streams delight before God.

That God is in.

That God will help

That won't be toppled.

Is this a picture looking forward to Jesus?

Who while it looked like he was toppled God raised again in the new light of the resurrection.

Or is it us? The church? Restored and made new.

Jesus talked about the vine & branches. Inseparable.

The church as a body, & he is the head. 

Maybe this picture of streams and a river is us made whole in Jesus, delighting the City of God.

There's drama amongst the nations, but we have someone bigger who is our hope and our stronghold.

Turmoil and uncertainty are nothing new.

And neither is our God. 

Keep leaning into Him.
