Monday

 

1 God is our refuge and strength,

ever-present help in trouble.

2 Therefore we will not fear,

though the earth give way

and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea,

3 though its waters roar and foam

and the mountains quake with their surging.

“Selah”

    • I learned this song from youth when they returned from camp one year.
    • We are one, but so ofter there are differences at work, school, in families, and in churches.  That’s no what God wants for us.
