Unshakable

I had the extreme privilege a couple of weeks ago to be a part of taking two bus loads of Middle Schoolers to camp! Some might call that extreme punishment. Although it was a wild time, I LOVE Middle Schoolers and this group was the absolute best! The theme for the week was Unshakable!
The word Unshakable makes me think of my own kids acting out a segment, that I’m sure they got from YouTube or the likes, called “No reaction.” My son will eat something extremely sour or spicy, look at me with no expression and say “No reaction.” We normally laugh because his face is doing weird things trying not to react.
At camp, we learned how to have Unshakable Faith! We were asked “What keeps you standing?” I thought about several things…coffee, sleep, friends, looking forward to the next exciting thing…The Word of God is what truly and consistently keeps me standing.
My attempts at being unshakable are as silly as my kids “no reaction” game. I need the foundation of God’s Word and His power in my life to be Unshakable!
“Trust in the Lord and do good. Then you will live safely in the land and prosper. Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you your heart’s desires. Commit everything you do to the Lord. Trust him, and he will help you.”
Psalms 37:3-5 NLT
When I put myself into His Word, and begin to meditate on it I:
Increase my Trust in Him. I can undoubtedly know that He has me where I am on purpose and for a purpose!
This knowledge allows me to live fully…where I am right now! Not being tossed around with every feeling and comparison.
“Those who love your instructions have great peace and do not stumble.”
Psalms 119:165 NLT
God wants us to love His Word, not check it off a list to make ourselves feel more holy. Meditating on His Word is what creates an unshakable faith!
On the days I wake up and my first thought is “I can’t do today,” I can remind myself that His faithfulness to me is unshakable!
What is a great way to meditate on His Word?
At camp, I was encouraged to meditate on His Word all the day long by just remembering a word or two of a verse from my morning devotion time. The more I do this, I start really understanding the verse, memorizing it, and applying it to my life.
God’s Word is what keeps me standing no matter how I feel. Standing on His Word creates an Unshakable Faith!

God, I want to Stand on Your Word daily!
Remind me to meditate on Your Word daily.
Help me to Love Your Law and Delight in It!
Thank You, God that Your Faithfulness is one of Your Attributes! You never fail and You are Faithful to me!
God, thank You for Your faithfulness! I thank You that You do not change and that Your faithfulness to me is not dependent on my perfection.
Remind me daily to meditate on Your Word, to fill my mind with things of You! To submit to You the thoughts, behaviors and habits that keep me from fully standing on Your Word! Help me to cling to You everyday. Make my Faith Unshakable! I love You.

Amen
