Ps. 75:3 When the earth
quakes and the people live in turmoil, I am the one who keeps its foundations
firm. I warned the proud, "Stop
your boasting!" I told the wicked,
"Don't raise your fists! Don't lift
your fists in defiance at the heavens or speak with rebellious arrogance."
I have never been in
an earthquake, and I hope I never am.
They can be very devastating and deadly.
An earthquake changes things.
Nothing is quite the same as they were before. Yet, one thing always remains the same; the
earth’s foundation remains the same. God has put the earth in place and it will
remain in its place until He moves it.
We can always count on the earth to remain in its place, no matter how
much turmoil there may be on the earth.
When it seems like
everything around you is going haywire, when your whole world is crashing in,
remember this truth. The Lord is on the
throne and He is holding your world together.
The Lord will not let your world fall apart. He will not abandon you to the elements. He is the one who keeps your foundation
firm. He will never leave or forsake
you, no matter how much turmoil you may be facing.
What should our
response be to this wonderful truth?
Recognize from where our help comes from. Our help comes from the Lord. He is the one who anchors our lives. We can't do it, only He can. We can take no credit for what He does. We praise and thank Him who is our Rock and
Salvation.
Those who refuse to
accept and acknowledge this truth will perish.
The proud and defiant will come crashing down. Those who rebel against the Lord will regret
the day they were born. Be warned; no
one will survive who defy the Lord. No
one will survive who are too proud to live humbly before God and dependent on
Him.
The Lord is our Rock; all other ground is
sinking sand
