Vast cities might be wiped cut with little recovery or survival. That, in a way, was precisely the situation of the man of faith who wrote the 46th Psalm. The idea of an atomic bomb was many centuries away, but very similar, and perhafs even more real than ours, was the danger constantly besetting per sons living in that little land of Palestine. For that land was situated be tween the great ancient empires warring for conquest and world mastery. Again and again it was overrun, its people destroyed, dispersed or carried into exile. The Northern Kingdom was shattered beyojid restoration. It was, therefore, no merely poetical sentiment when the psalmist wrote: “God is our refuge and strength; therefore will not we fear,” and went on to declare his courage of faith, though his whole world "should be destroyed. If we turn to the conclusion of Romans: 8, we find a list com piled by Paul. He lists first of all the possible experiences of trial and suffering. Next he lists all possible powers and forces, and Paul says that none of these things shall be able to separate us from “the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” This might be termed the faith of an atomic age. How can we get it? The answer to that is, perhaps, by living with those that have that faith, and, above all, by so living with the Christ of the New Testament .that He becomes to us, as He did to Paul the most secure fact of all life and time.
