Day 2: Where the Most High dwells
There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God, the holy place where the Most High dwells. God is within her, she will not fall; God will help her at break of day (Psalm 46:4-5).
This psalm encourages to hope and trust in God; in His power and providence, and His gracious presence with His church in the worst of times... He is a Help, a present Help... a Help at hand, one that is always near...
Let those be troubled at the troubling of the waters, who build their confidence on a floating foundation; but let not those be alarmed who are led to the Rock, and there find firm footing...
The river alludes to the graces and consolations of the Holy Spirit... through God's sacred ordinances, gladdening the heart of every believer. It is promised that the church shall not be moved. If God be in our hearts, by His word dwelling richly in us, we shall be established, we shall be helped; let us trust and not be afraid.
Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary — Psalm 46:1-5
When the storms of life are raging,
Tempests wild on sea and land,
I will seek a place of refuge
In the shadow of God’s hand.
He will hide me, He will hide me,
Where no harm can e’er betide me;
He will hide me, safely hide me,
In the shadow of His hand.
~ Mary E. Servoss~ 1878
