We Expect Firm Ground!

Biblical writers took note of earthquakes, and referred to them often to make their point. 

An earthquake is a penetrating image for cataclysmic times when “everything nailed down is coming loose.” Earthquakes threaten our assumptions about the stability of life. 

We like to think of earth as rock solid, but sometimes the earth moves. Sometimes when people fear flying on a plane, they resort to the ancient Latin by saying, “Just get me back to terra firma.” We expect the ground to be firm. We want our buildings tied to the bedrock because our foundations need to tie into something that won’t move. 

We are easily lured into thinking the same about our lives. We expect stability. We expect our lives to be “rock solid,” but then something traumatic happens and “everything nailed down is coming loose.”

There are times in our lives when we have to step into the darkness in faith, confident that God will place solid ground beneath our feet once we do. 

Thanks to Ahmed akacha for the picture. 

Think of a time when YOU stepped into the darkness in faith, and once YOU did, God placed solid ground beneath YOUR feet. 

STOP FOCUSING ON HOW STRESSED YOU ARE AND REMEMBER HOW BLESSED YOU ARE!!

Someone you know is looking for solid ground. Do share my Message.
