"The mountains
may shift, and the hills may be shaken, but my faithful love won't shift from
you, and my covenant of peace won't be shaken, says the LORD, the one who
pities you."
Isaiah 54:10 (CEB)
In the times of suffering in my own life, it has been easy
to shake my fist at God and say, "Why have you let these bad things happen
to me? Why have you abandoned me? Have you stopped loving me?" It is easy
to be angry at God when a loved one dies, when we find out we're sick or a
loved one is sick, when we've lost a job, or when we've suffered an injustice.
It is easy to think that God's love hasn't been unwavering and his presence in
our lives hasn't been constant.
However, God's promise to us is that he will never leave us
or abandon us. He promises, in this passage, that even if the mountains shift
or the hills are shaken, his love won't shift from us. That is a comforting
thing to hear. Even if it seems that our lives are crumbling around us, we can
be confident that God is still in control and that his love for us is
unwavering. His covenant of peace won't be shaken even if the earth is shaken!
Trust in God and rely on his unending love for you. Even in
difficult and seemingly impossible times, God still loves you and has your best
in mind.
