God is the psalmist’s fortress and refuge. The language suggests a mountainous stronghold, a higher vantage point from which we might look down upon our troubles and see them from a different perspective. That’s one lesson we can take away from the psalm: we can endure trouble more readily when we can see beyond what we want and desire in the moment, and see things from God's perspective. ","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/m4wWP6RhgtaQVY-Fm9O749o40PLOWY6s4PUGIxxoi8E/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS81OGU5/YTlmZTk0ZmFmZWZl/OTk0NTgyNDEyMTBj/MDM0ZC5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
