God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear though the earth should change, though the mountains shake in the heart of the sea; though its waters roar and foam, though the mountains tremble with its tumult.<\/p>\n
–Psalm 46: 1-2, a very good Psalm to end the year with; here is the Message version of this passage extended by one verse:<\/p>\n
God is a safe place to hide, ready to help when we need him.
\n We stand fearless at the cliff-edge of doom,
\n courageous in seastorm and earthquake,
\n Before the rush and roar of oceans,

\n Jacob-wrestling God fights for us,
\n God-of-Angel-Armies protects us.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
