Sometimes you just think
I've gotten comfortable now.
I have it all figured out.
I am knowing God.
And then - a shaking happens, life throws a curve ball.
So many questions and uncertainties come from that situation.
Psalm 139:7 - 18
7 Where can I go from Your Spirit?Or where can I flee from Your presence?8 If I ascend to heaven, You are there;If I make my bed in Sheol (the nether world, the place of the dead), behold, You are there.9 If I take the wings of the dawn,If I dwell in the remotest part of the sea,10 Even there Your hand will lead me,And Your right hand will take hold of me.11 If I say, “Surely the darkness will cover me,And the night will be the only light around me,”12 Even the darkness is not dark to You and conceals nothing from You,But the night shines as bright as the day;Darkness and light are alike to You.
13 For You formed my innermost parts;You knit me [together] in my mother’s womb.14 I will give thanks and praise to You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made;Wonderful are Your works,And my soul knows it very well.15 My frame was not hidden from You,When I was being formed in secret,And intricately and skillfully formed [as if embroidered with many colors] in the depths of the earth.16 Your eyes have seen my unformed substance;And in Your book were all writtenThe days that were appointed for me,When as yet there was not one of them [even taking shape].
17 How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God!How vast is the sum of them!18 If I could count them, they would outnumber the sand.When I awake, I am still with You
My friends cry out to God if you must, for only in him can we find deep and lasting comfort.
Abbah will settle you with his peace.
I give you assurance that somehow God will turn this around for good. He will get the glory from this, no matter how bad it seems. Just trust him.
Questions, questions and more questions when being shaken by life's "quakes".
I assure you that on the other side of this you will discover God in a deeper way and prove him as your healer and sustainer. Your all in all. Your everything!"
I pray if you're being shaken today, that God will give you the reassurance that he is with, he is for you and he is turning this around for good.
Trust his heart, trust in his goodness and mercy.
Trust in his everlasting unfailing love for you.
Father
You do not exempt us from life's shakings but you really do keep us. We give you thanks in everything and will never move from our place IN YOU. We worship you not only when things are good but we worship you in all. Thank you Lord, for all the life lessons learned, thank you for taking us through the shakings and quakings. We are in you. It is well with our soul and that's what really matters. Thank you once again for your unfailing unconditional love for us.
Amen
Walk good in Christ
Till we meet again
