No More Shaky Groud

     So far this week, we have talked about prayers answered in a miraculous way, of lessons learned through hard times, followed by healing and strength, and getting through the tragedies in life. How do we do it? If we could see the future from a young age, I’m not sure any of us would choose to live through it all.  Whew! All of us have our stories to share. God works through all of our stories. He is available all day and all night. He doesn’t sleep.

Indeed, He who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep. Psalm 121:4

     In the middle of a sleepless night, talk to Him. After a tragedy, let Him comfort you. When you are facing a decision, listen to Him. When you don’t have an answer, wait for Him. When you are lost, let Him carry you.

     In the middle of the muddle, He is there. In the bottom of the pit, He will lift you out. In the times of rejoicing, He rejoices with you. Let Him be your constant companion through this life. I can’t imagine it any other way. Lean on Him.

He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire. He set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand. Psalm 40:3

     If Jesus is your foundation, you will not be shaken. He will be your foothold, when the ground is shaking beneath you. He will hold you steady. Jesus is our rock. Here are His Words for us today.

“Therefore, everyone who hears these words of Mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose and the winds blew and beat against that house, yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. Matthew 7:24-25

Jesus,

You are the Rock, our foundation through it all. When the streams begin to rise, keep us afloat and above it all, set us on our firm foundation. It is You.

Amen
