Jesus is Your Rock. When bad things happen to good people we don’t know what to do or how to respond. What do we tell our friends who are going through the hardship at the time? Through the years, I have learned that there are things we may never know the answers to during our lifetime. Today I want to encourage you to hang on to Jesus as your Rock. He is the only One that can help you get through the storms of life. I hope this devotional will help you in your journey.
I Will Not Be Shaken!
# 124
Psalm 16:8 (NLT)
I know the Lord is always with me. I will not be shaken, for he is right beside me.
When you know in our heart that the Lord is with you, you have a peace that surpasses all understanding. It is the peace of God working in you so you are not shaken.
There are certain life events that can shake you, such as the death of a loved one, the loss of your job, divorce, or living through a natural disaster. If you find yourself living through any of the above situations, know that God is with you. He is right beside you, walking through it with you. He is holding your hand and lighting the way when it’s dark all around you. He is your comforter, your helper, your hope, and the one who loves you more than anyone on this earth.
The Lord Jesus is your Rock. Building your house on the Rock means you build your life based only on the truth of God’s Word. It is doing always what’s right and knowing the foundation is the love of God. Everything He does in your life is founded on His amazing love. In fact, the whole plan of salvation is based on His eternal love for you and desire to be with you forever.
When you build your life, your house, on Him, you will not be shaken when the storms of life come. Your house will stand. When the storm is over, you will still be standing on Him and His Word. It doesn’t matter what it looks like on the outside or around you. You will know where you stand because of what you believe.
Remember these words when you go through a storm in your life. Hang on to the Lord, and you will not be shaken.
