I will not be shaken

Sunday January 25th, Psalm 62: God is my rock and my salvation, my stronghold; I will not be shaken. In the midst of difficulties that come your way in life, there is one thing we can hold onto, Christ. All the advice, self-help, supplements, and gurus, though not bad, never seem to cut the mustard. That doesn't mean that walking with Christ will result in everything working out as we want it. It does mean that where ever we are in life, Christ is there with us. The common saying, "God never gives you more than you can handle," is a comfort only for the person saying it. Those hearing it often see their life falling apart and this saying leads them to believe it is all a dirty rotten gift from God. Life sometimes hands us some pretty rotten stuff, and to be honest, there are times when we contribute to the trouble we find ourselves in. In the midst of that, you are not alone. You are surrounded by the children of God and supported by God who is your rock and salvation. Let the people in and hold fast to God. It won't make all the bad stuff go away but it will keep you grounded on that rock of love.
