Title: Chaos
“Be still, and know that I am God; – Psalm 46:10a.
There’s some pretty powerful imagery in Psalm 46. Amid cataclysmic natural disasters of summer blockbuster proportions, God’s dwelling place holds firm and is unshakeable. During ancient warfare, God shatters the bows of trained archers and the spears of the best militia. He sets fire to the chariots, bringing a sudden halt to advances worldwide.
In this context, we are told, “Be still, and know that I am God.”
What’s shaking around you today? What seems overwhelming? What seems cataclysmic? What arrows and spears seem to be aimed at you?
Real men know God is still powerful in the midst of chaos.
