Psalms 46:6-7 (ESV Strong's)
6 The nations rage, the kingdoms totter;
he utters his voice, the earth melts.
7 The LORD of hosts is with us;
the God of Jacob is our fortress. Selah
God is Always in Control
When bad things happen to the world around us, the nations “rage.” The kingdoms of this world are set on the top of a pin and “totter” back and forth. Every wind of change, every slight imbalance in life, every tragic event can make the strongest kingdom tip so far one way it feels like certain destruction. If God were to even “utter” His voice in the wrong way the worlds would “melt.” We cannot really embrace the consequences of a crisis if we are not in tune with the God of the universe and his sovereign ability to sustain His creation. The writer of this song sums it up by saying that the Lord of Hosts is with us! He says the God of Jacob is “our fortress.” That is the refreshing aspect of this song. When, by faith, we see that God is in control. The power of knowing that God is in control, as the earth tips on a pin, is the most amazing aspect of faith with God. God is in Control!!! Always!!!
