5 Yes, my soul, find rest in God;
my hope comes from him.
6 Truly he is my rock and my salvation;
he is my fortress, I will not be shaken.
7 My salvation and my honor depend on God;
he is my mighty rock, my refuge. Psalm 62:5-7
On my way off the beach this last week I observed something that was very different from our entry to the beach. Our entry consisted of fairly smooth sailing up the beach on a sand foundation that had received some rain, so there were some good tracks to follow. The way out at the end of the week, we were not so lucky as the road had turned into something like the consistency of powdered snow. When I tried to cross several feet of powdery sand to get near the water, the whole vehicle began to bounce over the humps in the sand and every person in our care was shaken like fusing a gravy mix together. I think they all left their seats, even with the safety belts on. I realized that this was not the best decision but could not believe how un-travelable this area really was until that moment. Our life can have a similar path that is smooth and easy, but there are always those times when we get off track and the entire road is bumpy and not travelable. When we begin to realize that God is in control of our life, and prevents us from being shaken, then and only then will we decide to depend more on God during these times. Don't be shaken, but find the smooth road God has laid out for us.
Have a great weekend.
