How to Stand Unshakeable in a Very Unstable World
I glanced down at my phone and read 3 words that unnerved me immediately: “At the ER.”
I’d spent the afternoon adventuring with a friend. We’d taken silly selfies and slurped down yummy smoothies as we walked around the store. Three words turned my smile upside-down and elevated my heart rate.
I didn’t sleep much that night. The anxiety gave me heartburn.
The next morning, I got a message from a good friend on the West Coast. She’d woken up shaking from a dead sleep in the wee hours of the morning. As the ground underneath her was apparently giving way, her first response was to cry out to God.
Jesus, save me.
Sometimes three words can change your world.
Are you struggling to find firm footing for your faith today? Are you crushed by the weight of your difficult circumstances?
Maybe you are shaking due to a job loss.
Or you are trembling on your knees for a prodigal child.
Perhaps you fell flat on your face as you listened to a doctor explain a difficult diagnosis.
If you are wallowing on shaky ground today, I’m sharing a triple-strength treatment plan to help quiet your heart and revive your faith:
How to Stand Unshakeable in an Unstable World
Rehearse these 3-word phrases:
Jesus loves me
The God of Peace is always covering you with His steadfast love. His grace will shelter you from whatever spiritual attack you are facing. Remember His love conquered death to save you and can defeat any foe.
“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.” (Isaiah 54:10, NIV)
I’m set free
Christ died to set you free from sin and death, but sometimes, we live weighted down and defeated. Recognize that His yoke is easy — but first you must open up your hands and let go of the stronghold slowing down your progress.
“Cast your burden upon the LORD and He will sustain you; He will never allow the righteous to be shaken.” (Psalm 55:22, NASB)
God is greater
The enemy of your soul wants you to fear the future and stay stuck in the past. God’s purposes are greater than your pain. His redemption is at work in you, and your salvation is forever secure.
“But the Lord’s plans stand firm forever; His intentions can never be shaken.” (Psalm 33:11, NLT)
