When The World Falls Apart

Contributed by Derek Geldart on May 18, 2025

In a world unraveling through war, disaster, and spiritual decay, Psalm 46 calls believers to stand firm in supernatural trust, knowing that God—not nations or systems—is our unshakable refuge, reigning sovereign over every storm and offering peace in His powerful presence.
