[OLD] Supernatural protection vs. Confidence in science & experts
Text of excerpt, if available
I’ve been encouraged to see EFCA people across the country and ReachGlobal staff around the world turn their focus to the truth of the Scriptures in the face of this uncertainty. Many are spending extra time daily in the Word and in prayer. Personally, I’ve been focusing time in the book of Psalms. This songbook of God’s people has encouraged me greatly. The words in Psalm 46, in particular, deeply touch my heart and bring comfort, hope and peace: “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear though the earth gives way, though the mountains be moved into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam, though the mountains tremble at its swelling.” (Psalm 46:1-2) These verses paint a picture of God as our shelter in which to hide, our strength to bear life’s trials and our help that stands ready at our point of need. This is a moving portrait of the God I love and serve.
