Fly You Fools!

Misty Fjords, Alaska

“Fly you fools!  -Gandalf from “Lord of the Rings”

Wars, and, famine, and refuges fleeing to stay alive.
How will we escape? 
Our families to survive?
Fly you fools!

In the Lord I take refuge.
    How then can you say to me:
    “Flee like a bird to your mountain. 

For look, the wicked bend their bows;
    they set their arrows against the strings
to shoot from the shadows
    at the upright in heart.

When the foundations are being destroyed,
    what can the righteous do?”

The Lord is in his holy temple;
    the Lord is on his heavenly throne.  Psalm 11:1-4 NIV

The Lord is our refuge.
To His unfailing love,
let your spirit awaken.
Though the mountains crumble,
His kingdom will not be shaken

For the Lord is righteous,
    he loves justice;
    the upright will see his face. Psalm 11:7 NIV
