The Unshakeable Foundation of GodSýnishorn

My Confidence is in the Unshakeable God

Psalm 46 ends with a reminder that when we focus on God, we will see his power in every situation and at every stage of our lives. It reminds us that God is God, and God is with us. We are assured of God’s presence even in those times when personal circumstances or world events take up so much of our life and energy that we find it hard to recognise that God is alongside us.

Like the disciples on the road to Emmaus (Luke 24:13-35) there may be times when we do not recognise that God is with us or that God’s presence, power and strength are sufficient for our needs. But God is there and even if none of our physical circumstances change, his presence, power and strength remain sufficient.

Our life and experience of the world is very different from that of the psalmist. Nevertheless, we can choose to claim the confidence that comes from knowing that God is, and will be, God.

Despite our fears, as we call to mind the work of God in history and in our own lives, we can be certain that God is the unshakeable foundation for every circumstance.

Arch R. Wiggins penned these words: ‘… when alone on the road, oppressed by my load, Jesus himself drew near and walked with me’.

What does that ‘walking with’ look like for you?

A prayer for today:

Dear Lord,

My confidence is in you and your absolute sovereignty over all things. Amidst life’s challenges and uncertainties, help me to keep my eyes fixed on you, the unshakeable God. In your presence, I find rest and I claim this for me today.

Thank you, Jesus.

Amen.
