Scripture: Psalm 46:1–3
“God is our refuge and strength.”
The earth changes. Mountains
shake. Waters roar.
The psalmist does not deny instability. Faith is not denial. It is anchoring.
We live in a time of shifting institutions, anxious headlines, and deep
cultural fragmentation. Fear is profitable in such a climate. But Lent reminds us that fear is not our
foundation.
If God is refuge, then we are free to act courageously. If God is strength, we need not grasp for
false power.
A church rooted in refuge becomes a refuge. It offers stability not by resisting change,
but by grounding change in love.
We are not called to control the shaking. We are called to trust through it.
Silence becomes essential here. In
quiet, we rediscover steadiness. In
prayer, we hear again the voice of the One who holds history.
The psalm ends with an invitation: “Be still, and know that I am God.”
Stillness is resistance against panic.
Reflection Questions:
- What fears most disrupt my peace?
- How might stillness strengthen my
courage?
- Where can I become a refuge for
someone else?
