Psalm 46:4-5 - “There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God, the holy habitation of the Most High. God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved; God will help her when morning dawns.”

The verses around this text depict chaos. Specifically, the earth giving way, the mountains melting into the sea, waters roaring and foaming, and mountains trembling. Sounds like the world falling apart.

In the midst of this shaken world, however, is a wonderful river that flows into the city of God. This river brings peace and, it seems, the very presence of God.

Perhaps your world is “falling apart” or stress filled. Rush to God. Rush to His river. Only the presence of God - made possible only by the blood of Christ - can offer the calm and peace we need in a chaotic world.
