Introduction

Psalm forty six was composed ina time of crisis, and it is preserved for us to day. The particular crisis that gave rise to these verses is left unidentified. So hamay not satisfy our curiosities, but it does show us the timelessness of our god. This was not just written for one particular, singular crisis. This was written for crises, countless crises, many crises in our own life. And they're ready made. The psalm is ready made for our crisis to day.
