Scripture: Hebrews 12:27 - "...so that what cannot be shaken may remain."
"All of us go through a time or times in our life when the walls quake around us and the earth seems to move under our feet...Our lives get shaken up now and then..."
What have you gone through lately that has shaken your life? What has knocked the wind out of you, swept your feet out from under you, etc? For me it was leaving Heartland Services to put my family first. This was a big feat for me and for Josh. You see, I had been working at Heartland since January 2004...it was a staple in my life and in our relationship. But, it wasn't the right staple once we became parents. While it was a chosen shake, it was still a hard shake...Should I look for another job? Should I be a stay-at-home mom? Should I find a full time job? Should I find a part time job? Where was God going to take me?
"Knowing that God is sovereign and nothing can happen to us that does not pass His approval, I sometimes wonder why He allows such rigorous and often painful upheavals...When the shaking stops and we try to put back misplaced and broken items, we realize that not everything has survived the quake." Have you ever broken something that was important to you and tried to glue it back together...no matter how hard you try, it will never look the same or be the same as it was before it was broken. Do you choose to keep it in its new light or do you throw it out and get a new one? If it has meaning to you, there is no easy answer.
"It is this: When all else is shaken, He remains." Remember the next time your world is shaken, turned upside down, toppled over, stepped on, run over, ravaged, etc, God is still the same. He will love you and keep you and help you through it all.
