Isaiah 54:10
“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.
I shall not be, I shall not be moved
I shall not be, I shall not be moved
Just like a tree that’s planted by the water
I shall not be moved
This is a song we use to sing at the church where I grew up. It was a reminder that if we have deep roots we can survive any storm. Those roots have to be growing in God. He is the one that keeps us stable.
Notice the song and today’s verse in Isaiah do not say we will be exempt from storms. They do not say our lives will be filled with sunshine and rainbows. Nope, it says though the mountains be shaken. It is saying when the storms come. Sometimes those storms are gentle rains and other times it is a full catastrophic 157 mph wind of a category 5 hurricane. However, in the end, it does not matter because you will not be moved. You are rooted in the peace God has promised you. You shall not be, you shall not be moved!
Somedays Lord, it seems my world is rocking all around me, but I know with you I shall not be moved! ~amen
