Your throne is established from of old; you are from everlasting.
Psalm 93:1,2
I cannot help but feel anxiety in the air these days. Markets are plummeting, pension funds are shrinking, governments seem helpless to stabilize an "out of control" world economy. Massive companies like GM are on the verge of bankruptcy. I find it interesting that we are so shaken by economic "shaking". It seems like God knows that we are most attached to our security and material things and that the way to get our attention is to put a hole in the bag of silver we find such security in.
I am reminded this morning of the sovereignty of God. "The nations mock" but He is still God. It is good to be reminded during times like this that our help comes from the Lord, who's throne is established from of old. God has seen economic downturns, shifts in the way the nations of the world relate to each other, and superpowers come and go. But, HE is not wringing his hands.
In a microcosmic kind of way, the world of Gary and Kim Lidstone is also changing. The "only" secure thing in our lives for the last three years has been that whenever we came home from wherever, our shelter was at 21 Villa Court, Chatham. As the Lord has brought us on the journey of the last three years, he has given us assurance that only He is our shelter and that we can uproot from Chatham and wait upon Him for further instructions.
I will say to the LORD,
"My refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust."
Ps 91:2
