Last week I drove down to Peoria to volunteer at Winter Jam. A Christian music festival that tours through the winter months. The drive for me was about 2:15. As I was heading down the highway, I looked at the little Jesus figure, and it hadn't moved. At all. I placed it on the dash, and it has stayed where I put it, the whole time. As you can tell from the picture, the little micro ducks move and slide every which way. Never stay put. The little Jesus figure would vibrate and shake, but never move!
So of course this got me thinking about the real Jesus in my life. How He is unmovable! Unshakeable! No matter what happens, Jesus stays put!
Proverbs 18:10 Living Bible
10 The Lord is a strong fortress. The godly run to him and are safe.
If He can calm the winds and waves during a storm, for the disciples without being shaken or worried , what can He protect you from? What kind of storms are you facing? Run to Jesus, He is our strong tower. Our refuge in times of trouble.
Psalm 46:1-2 Amplified Bible
46 God is our refuge and strength [mighty and impenetrable], A very present and well-proved help in trouble. 2 Therefore we will not fear, though the earth should change And though the mountains be shaken and slip into the heart of the seas,
We may be facing all kinds of situations. Things that we think that we cannot get through. That's true. We can't do it alone. We need help.
Psalm 121:1-2 New Living Translation
1 I look up to the mountains— does my help come from there? 2 My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth!
So why not lean on, trust in and rely on The One who is never shaken. Never moved. The One who is always there? Things may look impossible for us, but not for God!
Matthew 19:26 Amplified Bible
26 But Jesus looked at them and said, “With people [as far as it depends on them] it is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”
So I encourage you this day. Trust in The Lord. The one who never changes, never backs down and is for you, always!
God bless.
Rev. Kev.
