Remembrance stands as an example and a corrective to a nihilistic, fatalistic, self obsessed, selfish world. It points us beyond ourselves to recognise and to be thankful to those who have given so much to and for us. It also calls us to examine our hearts because it begs the question: what might sacrifice look like for you and i?Psalm 46 is a celebration of security. We know where we stand with God because we know from experience what He is like. Whether it is to affirm the position of a nation state or to confirm the standing of an individual, Psalm 46 tells us that our status, development and hope all depend on one thing: our relationship with God.
