Show Notes

When the dark came, because it always does, I found that I had no light. Perhaps I lost it when I crossed the river. Still, I would trust in the name of the Lord and rely on my God. As I made my way through the blackest night, I felt His comfort surround me. I relied on His presence until the night gave way to the first light of day.

Coming around the next bend, I found myself facing a crowd of people. They held every sort of weapon, and the malice on their faces made my blood run cold. One by one, they advanced upon me, shouting accusations and wielding their weapons. I wanted to curl up in a ball and cover my ears, but God gave me His strength to endure. “They will not prevail!†His words rang out, and then I heard the echo of His voice on the day that changed all days. “It is finished†rumbled over the land with such power and light that it shattered every weapon. The people I had once feared were silenced.

Hours later, upon reaching the foot of the mountains, I felt like weeping with relief. Perhaps my journey was nearing the end. Suddenly, the ground began to shake beneath my feet. The vibrations grew so intense that I was knocked to the earth as boulders smashed around me. A scream of terror rose from my throat as I watched the mountains crumble and the hills around me seem to move.

But then, unfathomably, everything was instantaneously still. I could see the destruction and hear the rumbling enveloping the landscape around me, but it was as if I were encased in a protective sphere of calm for a few blissful moments. And there was His voice, falling on my ears like a warm summer rain: “My unfailing love for you will not be shaken.†I knew then, whatever I had to walk through, my God would deliver me. • Savannah Coleman

• The things you have to go through in life will be hard (John 16:33); at times you will feel shaken to the core. Remember that one thing remains: God’s unfailing love for you. If you’ve put your trust in Jesus, you can know that nothing can separate you from His love because Jesus has died and risen again (Romans 8:35-39). What darkness are you walking through today? How might Jesus be inviting you to rely on Him? (John 8:12; Hebrews 13:5-6)

“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. Isaiah 54:10 (NIV)
