When you get earth shattering news remember your solid ground is found in Jesus.

Have you ever received a phone call, a message, news that was filled with so much pain it shatters the world around you. Much like running into a cement wall it hits you full force and all hope seems to diminish.  A few seconds before you answered the phone, opened the door, had the conversation life was normal, things were good and pleasant. When things are calm reality strikes best.  If you ever received a call like this, the first few seconds feel like chaos; what do you say, where do you turn, what do you do?

The answer is found in Jesus.

When your world has been shaken, when you need solid ground, turn to God.  In this ever changing world He alone can give you stability, a reassurance that He will listen, guide and be a rock for you. The important thing is to not forget God when hard times, trials and chaos strike.  The enemy takes emergencies and uses them to pull you away from the Lord.  When times are hard and things seem hopeless, lean more on God, and know that hope is with Him.  When we are following Him, Gods promise to us is that He will never leave us nor forsake us.

Whatever you are going through this season, this hour, this minute know that you aren’t alone but God is there. When all seems shaky, stand on your solid ground Jesus has provided and call on your God.


Hebrews 13:5 (AMP)
… be satisfied with your present [circumstances and with what you have]; for He [God] Himself has said, I will not in any way fail you nor give you up nor leave you without support. I will not in any degree leave you helpless nor forsake nor let you down!

Psalm 112:7 NIV
He will have no fear of bad news; his heart is steadfast, trusting in the Lord.

You are fearfully and wonderfully made
(Psalm 139:14)
