"The call to be still, to stand silent, to cease striving, comes in the context of a life in chaos. A life surrounded by land slides, tidal waves, and earthquakes. Whether the chaos is enviromental, political, relational, emotional, or simply organizational, there is a river, the psalmist tells us, that flows from the throne of God. A river that remains clear and refreshing, undisturbed by the upheavals. A river whose stream brings gladness. The gladness we can have in the midst of turbulent times, the peace that flows like a river, is the nearness of our God. He is with us when our world caves in around us. When the once-stable mountain of financial security now quakes. He is "our refuge and strength". Ken Gire's book..."Reflections from the Word".

I love your quote from Ken Gire. A perfect thought for the turbulent times our country is experiencing. How thankful I am that none of this catches our Great God by surprise or is out of His Sovereign Control. Blessings to you, Judy.
