An Immutable God in Unstable Times

By Elizabeth Prata

Charles Spurgeon wrote a commentary on all the Psalms. It is called The Treasury of David. You can find it online in several places, such as here. Or here.

It’s obvious to anyone with eyes that sin is drenching the world n higher and higher quantities. Sin running rampant in the flesh is a terrible thing. Runaway violence, anger, and thievery seems to have become the norm. Yet God still holds the universe in His hand and controls all the unfolding commotion with a steady progression toward the fulfillment of all that He has said will occur.

I hope that Spurgeon’s exposition of Psalm 75:3 encourages you.

The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved. When anarchy is abroad, and tyrants are in power, everything is unloosed, dissolution threatens all things, the solid mountains of government melt as wax; but even then the Lord upholds and sustains the right. I bear up the pillars of it. Hence, there is no real cause for fear. While the pillars stand, and stand they must for God upholds them, the house will brave out the storm. In the day of the Lord’s appearing a general melting will take place, but in that day our covenant God will be the sure support of our confidence.

“How can I sink with such a prop
As my eternal God,
Who bears the earth’s huge pillars up,
And spreads the heavens abroad.”

Selah. Here may the music pause while the sublime vision passes before our view; a world dissolved and an immutable God uplifting all his people above the terrible commotion.

Through the commotion of the world, look up to God where there is peace. EPrata collage
