My firm foundation

One beautiful benefit of sorrow and brokenness has been this unshakable discovery:

𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐚 𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐥𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐨𝐟 𝐦𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐈 𝐜𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐟𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐉𝐞𝐬𝐮𝐬 𝐛𝐲𝐦𝐲 𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞.

The larger the quake, the more steady the Rock, 𝐚𝐧𝐝, 𝐟𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐬, 𝐇𝐞 𝐡𝐚𝐬 𝐛𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐦𝐲𝐆𝐢𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐚𝐫, even when the Richter Scale measured total devastation. 

𝐈𝐦𝐦𝐨𝐯𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞. 𝐈𝐦𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐠𝐧𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞. 𝐈𝐦𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞.

Whatever came my way, 𝐇𝐞 𝐚𝐛𝐬𝐨𝐫𝐛𝐞𝐝, leaving me whole and completely intact.

𝐍𝐨 𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐫 𝐚𝐟𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐝 of the aftershocks to come, I hide behind Him, and claim His promises 𝐛𝐞𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐜𝐥𝐮𝐭𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐬. I have found no more faithful Fortress than He. 

“From the end of the earth will I cry unto Thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the Rock that is higher than I.”
