I WILL NOT BE MOVED

Calamities are inevitable and are a normal part of life. No one is immune. Standing strong in faith when everything is going wrong, and all seems lost, is not a feeling we get, but rather an option we have to make. When we stay in God’s presence, in the midst of our adversities, we may feel some pressure, experience some pain, but in His presence we will encourage ourselves, and God will give us His strength to stand strong till victory comes.

We all can learn to prepare for the storms of life and how to withstand them when they do blow through our family. Are you going to be emotional at times? You betcha! :) But we have to hang on to the truth of His words and let that be the foundation of our home and not the “what ifs.”

Even when we don't feel God is listening or loves us, we know from His Word that He does care. When we don't feel any good can come out of our trials, we know from Romans 8:28 that all things really do "work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose."

If you get the chance listen to this song. It is one of my favs and I believe in its lyrics. Because I WILL NOT BE MOVED. :) (Not a coincidence my friends, this song came on the radio as I was typing this up, how awesome is our God.) :)

Natalie Grant - I Will Not Be Moved
(From the album Relentless)


I have been the wayward child
I have acted out
I have questioned Sovereignty
And had my share of doubt
And though sometimes my prayers feel like
They're bouncing off the sky
The hand I hold won't let me go
And is the reason why...

Chorus:

I will stumble
I will fall down
But I will not be moved
I will make mistakes
I will face heartache
But I will not be moved
On Christ the Solid Rock I stand
All other ground is sinking sand
I will not be moved


Bitterness has plagued my heart
Many times before
My life has been like broken glass
And I have kept the score
Of all my shattered dreams and though it seemed
That I was far too gone
My brokenness helped me to see
It's grace I'm standing on

Chorus

And the chaos in my life
Has been a badge I've worn
Though I have been torn
I will not be moved

Chorus
