“‘Though the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed, yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken nor my covenant of peace be removed,’ says the Lord, who has compassion on you.” Isaiah 54:10

Have you ever heard the saying, “Shake every which way but loose”?

That is what came to mind when I read this verse. And then another verse came to kind that says a thousand mag fall at my side and ten thousand at my right hand but none will come near me.

In other words, YES! There’s a whole lotta shakin goin on and that’s why it is more important RIGHT NOW in this moment of human history maybe than ever before to keep your eyes on the prize of the high calling of Christ and not on what is all going on around us.

In Jumpkids yesterday (our Children’s ministry) the lesson ministered to me so much in regards to this thought. It was on Focus. We made masks and talked about the verse that says, “Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things.” Philippians 4:8

The very first verse in this blog is such a great example of what Philippians 4:8 is telling us to think on. It’s true and good and praiseworthy. So let this Monday morning inspiration put a pep in your step and let’s not go by how we feel or by what it looks like around us and let’s cling to His Word like never before. He is our sure guide and we actually can live in peace when total chaos is all around us. Let His Word steady you and turn whatever has shaken you up into a dance before the Lord and shake every which way but loose! The enemy wants to isolate you and shake you loose from the body of Christ. And he has managed to do just that for about half of the body of Christ. Get back in church even if it’s online & in small groups! Just because there is a whole lot of shakin goin on, doesn’t mean you have to be one of the ones who gets shaken loose. Choose to cling to His unfailing love and stand firm and strong in Him to the very end. How? Grab whichever fruit you need at the time and yield to peace, patience, kindness, gentleness, goodness, faithfulness, self control, or joy, which all flow out of His love and there will be nothing you face that yielding to one of these won’t help you overcome!!!

Happy Monday!
