an ever-present help in trouble.
Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way
and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea,
though its waters roar and foam
and the mountains quake with their surging. Ps. 46: 1-3 NIV
This has been a bad year for weather, or as the meteorologists would frame it 'mother nature'. Even with destruction all around from tornadoes, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions, I am sure of two things, it is not the work of Mother Nature, it is the hand of God, and that same hand that causes the earth to give way and mountains to fall into the sea will be our refuge and strength.
A lot of the survivors of the tornadoes in the south, in Joplin, and in Reading, Kansas, the small town close to us, are aware of that hand of God. The witness of many, as they have stared at a landscape devoid of life, has been that God is their refuge. Those of us who have been spared should contemplate God's all encompassing help and strength for our circumstances as well.
