VERSE OF THE WEEK
He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress; I shall not be greatly shaken. – Psalm 62:2
Unshakable
In May 1960, the strongest earthquake ever recorded hit Chile. The 9.5 magnitude quake created a tsunami, which together killed an estimated 5,700 people. Measures of earthquakes have only been taken since the development of the Richter scale in the 1930s. However, significant quakes have occurred across the eons of time. Matthew 27 records a quake when Jesus was crucified that shook the earth, split rocks in two, and broke tombs open. Unlike hurricanes and tornadoes, earthquakes are difficult to predict. Seismologists say the “Big One” destined for California has been overdue for some time. The power of God on display when the earth shakes is more than equaled by the power of His protective hand over you. Psalm 46 reminds you that though the sea should roar and the mountains tremble, God is your present help. Do not wait for the earth to quake to place your total trust in Him.
