Don’t Tremble  

The mountains quake before Him, the hills melt, and the earth heaves at His presence, yes, the world and all who dwell in it. Nahum 1:5

I am the first to admit, I do not know what God is doing but I do know that He is in control. Today you might be tempted to get out of the boat because the seas are roaring, don’t! Our temptation, when we experience a storm in life, is to tremble, but don’t! Life brings with it many such events and as believers we are not exempt from rough seas. We experience them in our relationships, our health, our workplace, and our churches and in our communities, as well as in today’s world situation of the virus.

In the end we must remember that God is in control.

I do not know why God is shaking the nations today. What was once solid and safe ground is increasingly showing the signs of strain and meltdown. Man’s ability to fix it is running out and we are left to watch as those who are in power endeavor, in man’s way, to steer something which is in God’s hands.

We must remember the world is looking to the church. In the midst of all that is going on around us, what the church does and says will make the difference. Remind those around you that God is still God. He is on the throne. He is in control.

Prayer for today: Lord Jesus, I take up my position with You in these uncertain days. I remain firm in Your truth. I join with my brothers and sisters in Christ in holding on to you and watching You have your way in the nations. Amen.
