“God is a safe place to hide, ready to help when we need him. We stand fearless at the cliff-edge of doom, courageous in sea-storm and earthquake,” (Psalm 46:1–2, The Message)
That God is our refuge is not a "new" truth to a follower of Christ. That truth is something we learn early in our life of faith. What I find interesting here is the application of the truth that the author makes. We stand fearless writes the author at the cliff-edge of doom, courageous in sea-storm and earthquake (ESV: “Therefore we will not fear though the earth gives way, though the mountains be moved into the heart of the sea,”).
So one of the applications of the fact that God is our refuge is that we can turn our fear over to him and stand fearless while the world crumbles around us. This is powerful help indeed.
