once again. Isaiah understood the concept of praising and thanking the Rock of Israel.“ And you will sing as on the night you celebrate a holy festival; your hearts will rejoice as when people playing pipes go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the Rock of Israel”( Isaiah 30:29).
Some of us might be skeptical about the time it might take, because we want the shaking to stop, now. If you have a hard time believing your firm footing will be restored and that the shaking will stop, consider David’ s words,“ The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold”( Psalm 18:2).
Here’ s one more promise to claim, especially if you feel like you are on shifting sand.“ He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire; he set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand”( Psalm 40:2). Speak this verse several times as you wait for the shaking to cease! Let’ s pray.
