| I'm not shaken |

Have you ever been taken to that place where you have Satan whispering or even shouting in your ear..."YOU GOT NOBODY!, YOUR ALL ALONE!" Have you ever been in that place where it was a very true reality for you that not even your own strength could hold you up. I know for me I found it was not until I got in that place in life that this verse became very real to me.
I find myself the single mom of two kids, the only provider, the spiritual head. For the first time in my life I found myself unable to tap into instant healing. I'm taking weekly chemo for rheumatoid arthritis. I am alone with God as my Rock, my salvation and my fortress. I also am not shaken.
Satan's words don't move me, God just surrounds me and sustains me right now, yes, daily, sometimes moment by moment....but alone? Are you kidding me? For one, I have my children and they are awesome kids...we laughed in the dark tonight telling stories while we watched the stars out my picture window in my bedroom just like when they were little....the simplest things seem so fun...In the hardest of times, when I am alone, and I feel lonely, I realize my Spirit is alive in me and perfect...I also realize Jesus is sitting right next to the Father all the while interceding for me and the best part is they love me and have already provided for my success in this life and the one to come....
When I think on that...and Satan tries to tell me I'm alone...his voice starts to sound very tinyand I begin to literally feel the strength of the Lord as I meditate on that scene...I feel the rock of His throne and I FEEL SAVED...I don't FEEL ALONE anymore...and I certainly don't feel shaken...I feel peaceful enough to look at the stars again that He created and to know that He at that very moment has the hairs on my head counted and I know I am cared for, and I need not worry for tomorrow...and I begin to drift off to sleep...peaceful once again....
62:7 62:6He only is my rock and my salvation, my fortress; I shall not be shaken. |
