Topic : No Shaking!
Text: Psalm 16 : 8
8 I keep my eyes always on the LORD. With him at my right hand, I will not be shaken. Amen
The aeroplane provides one of the safest and fastest means of transportation over long distances. Several mandatory checks are undertaken by several engineers and technical experts before the craft is declared safe for ‘take off’. However, all these in place do not necessarily guarantee a ‘TURBULENCE FREE’ journey.
Life can be like that you know. Even the most cautious, hard working, pious and optimistic person can be stormed by the most unexpected turbulence right after take off. What do we do about that? Do we lose control and allow the currents to sway us down or we trust God, gird strength and keep soaring until the desired destination?
When life bombards you with a severe hurricane that almost crushes your life, do not give up so easily. For “though the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed, yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken nor my covenant of peace be removed,” says the LORD, who has compassion on you” (Is 54: 10)
Beloved in Christ, if the LORD’S UNFAILING LOVE FOR US KNOWS NO SHAKING, then we too know NO SHAKING! We have become like Mount Zion, which can not be shaken but endures forever ( Ps 125 : 1).
Therefore, encourage all who are fearful to rise up again. “God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. 2 Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea, 3 though its waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with their surging. 4 There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God, the holy place where the Most High dwells. 7 The Lord Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress (Ps: 46: 1- 4, 7)
Begin to pray and commit your weak and feeble heart to Jesus. Ask for a “no shaking” attitude in your spirit against all the fiery darts of satan. God is with us- we will not be consumed. There is a river whose stream makes glad the city of God. It flows with living waters that generate unspeakable joy, peace and strength for every storm that threatens our path. Therefore come what may; whatever may be, NO SHAKING!
