But none of
these things move me.
Acts 20:24
I have been
camping on this Scripture recently.
I so want
to be one who is immovable.
I am
learning the difference between
responding
to life's joys and challenges
with real
thoughts and emotions
and being
immovable in my posture of trust.
Being
immovable doesn't mean that
I won't be
moved in a general sense.
It does
mean that I won't move out of peace.
The Lord
has been speaking
about
peace everywhere I go.
A marvelous
word has stirred my heart.
Psalm 45:1
The word
"peace" has been stirring my heart.
When the
Lord is stirring our hearts
with His
marvelous word,
the enemy
attempts to
stir our
hearts with its opposite.
It seems
every time I am in a conversation
either with
the Lord or with others about peace,
something
will pop up within moments
to bring
anxiety, worry, or fear.
Sometimes
subtle and sometimes in my face.
The enemy
has pointed out that I am
not
good at keeping unmovable.
But God has
assured me that
it has
little to do with emotion
and
everything to do with posture.
He has been
assuring me that
He doesn't
care if I bob on choppy waters.
He cares
whether I trust the anchor,
knowing it
will not let me move
beyond the
tug of His reach.
He is
helping me be unmovable
in trust,
in faith, in love.
Be still my
heart and know.
Know that
God is ever present,
ever
caring, ever watching.
Know that
His goodness knows no bounds
and His
mercy is everlasting.
As I
meditate on these things,
the anchor
holds me firmly in place.
A little
bobbing on choppy waters
is just a
normal response to
the winds
of life that rush through.
A marvelous
word is stirring my heart.
It is His
word of peace.
I will not
be moved.
