"God Is Our Refuge and Strength"

Psalms 46 [To the chief Musician for the sons of Korah. A Song upon Alamoth.] There are many places in the Bible that indicate God is not so accessible; yet God is omnipresent, so He really can't be that far away from anyone; but you must want the contact. This word "Alamoth" is an interesting word, it has meant different things in different settings, but the primary meaning states, "young women, soprano?"; the question mark is added to indicate that there is some mystery to the actual meaning. The secondary meaning is "a term in psalm heading", which refers to the use here in this Psalm. The word does appear once more in the Old Testament, and is found in 1 Chronicles 15:20, but really offers no further explanation as to what it means, except that it was part of the worship appointed for the ark when David set it up in Jerusalem. Trying to make sense of the Lexicon, it would appear that word tries to put forth the meaning of a virgin, yet it falls short of that actual meaning in the context of 1 Chronicles; however, when you think about it, there might be something in connection with "First Love", as in the way you might expect love to be for a "youthful spouse recently married". The way I see this word "Alamoth" in relation to it's use here in the introduction, is that this Song is to be sung with a virgin voice, as in sharp; and yet, within the meaning of the virgin voice, there is another meaning of freshness, as in "Just Like The First Time". Comparing this to the life of a Christian, we might associate this freshness to our beginning of our new life in Christ, as in those first few months, when everything was new and fresh, and when God appeared big enough and close enough to make us invincible. With that, I really find it interesting how this Psalm is placed after Psalms 45, which was about A Royal Wedding, and spoke of Jesus and His bride; because if you actually think about it, we became part of The Bride of Christ the day that we were born again; which means the marriage relationship actually started then, and for some of us the freshness of the marriage may have worn off... "Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus write: These things saith He that holdeth the seven stars in His right hand, who walketh in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks; I know thy works, and thy labor, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and has found them liars: and hast borne, and hast patience, and for My name's sake hast labored, and hast not fainted. Nonetheless I have found something against thee, because thou hast left thy first love. Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and I will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent. But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate. He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which in the midst of the paradise of God." (Revelation 2:1-7)
