Cadence

"The nations rage, the kingdoms totter; he utters his voice, the earth melts," Psalm 46:6.

God's voice changes everything. In the midst of rampaging peoples, of mountains sloughing off into seas, of earth giving way to shaking, of tsunamis roaring onto shores, of governments staggering - God's enthroned in his citadel. From his throne a life-giving stream springs through his city. The City of God rests on an immovable foundation. God's Word. And dawn will come. At his voice wars end: weapons shatter, war machines burn to a crisp. His voice: Be still! His voice: Know that I am God! His voice: I will be exalted in the earth!

When we visit a brother or sister today, we listen with ... for God's voice, drinking in its enlivening cadence. And, together, we give thanks for his Christ, living Word.
