* Movers and Shakers

My soul, wait silently for God alone, For my expectation is from Him. He only is my rock and my salvation; He is my defense; I shall not be moved.
7 In God is my salvation and my glory; The rock of my strength, And my refuge, is in God.
Psalm 62:5-7 NLT

The world is full of movers and shakers - people who specifically set out to get things done. And they will move and/or shake whoever and whatever to make it happen. I must admit, at times I am a little envious of them because I don't think 'slip and slide' has the same connotation as 'move and shake'. However, not all movers and shakers are a good thing. Some are steam rollers meant to take you out or make you a mover and a shaker - moving you out of the way and shaking with fear! 

However, yesterday I heard a great exhortation - Hold the Line! It doesn't matter what comes against you. Hold the Line! It doesn't matter what the world throws at you or what you're losing or who is leaving you or what bill needs to be paid or what the doctor said - HOLD THE LINE! If God is our Rock, how can we be moved?

Psalm 46:1-4 reads, God is our refuge and strength, A very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, Even though the earth be removed, And though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; Though its waters roar and be troubled, Though the mountains shake with its swelling. Be the living epitome of 1st Corinthians 15:58 - Be stedfast, unmoveable! 

There will always be movers and shakers - good and bad. Don't be moved - In God is my salvation and my glory; The rock of my strength, And my refuge, is in God.

Prayer:

Father, 
         My soul will wait silently for You alone, For my expectation is from You. You only are my rock and my salvation; You are my defense; I shall not be moved. In Jesus' Name I pray. Amen
