Unshaken

Over the past week I have had many people ask me how I have remained so positive during the health issues I have been facing.   I sat down tonight and tried to put some thought into that.    Why have I not been fearful?   Why am I not spending time worrying about the outcome?   Let me tell you why.   I BELIEVE God.   Very simple.  I believe His Word and I believe in Him.

Let me tell you, getting to this place in my life has been a long hard road - and it came at some very big expenses and tolls on my marriage and family, but I wouldn't trade it for the world, because this is what I know - God is faithful.   No matter the outcome, He has a plan for you and for me!   So tonight I leave with you two passages of Scripture that are dear to me and I also pray that if you are feeling discouraged or down-trodden, that you turn you eyes upon Jesus.  Call upon Him.  He will answer - I promise.

II Corinthians  4:8 
We are experiencing trouble on every side, but are not crushed; we are perplexed, but not driven to despair;  we are persecuted, but not abandoned; we are knocked down, but not destroyed.


Psalm 62: 1-8
1 My soul finds rest in God alone;
       my salvation comes from him.



 2 He alone is my rock and my salvation;
       he is my fortress, I will never be shaken.


 3 How long will you assault a man?
       Would all of you throw him down—
       this leaning wall, this tottering fence?


 4 They fully intend to topple him
       from his lofty place;
       they take delight in lies.
       With their mouths they bless,
       but in their hearts they curse.
       Selah


 5 Find rest, O my soul, in God alone;
       my hope comes from him.


 6 He alone is my rock and my salvation;
       he is my fortress, I will not be shaken.


 7 My salvation and my honor depend on God [a] ;
       he is my mighty rock, my refuge.


 8 Trust in him at all times, O people;
       pour out your hearts to him,
       for God is our refuge. 

      
Selah
