I shall never be moved?

And in my prosperity I said, I shall never be moved. Lord, by thy favour thou hast made my mountain to stand strong...

Psalms 30:6-7a

Doesn't that sound familiar? "I shall never be moved." Maybe it is when life seems to be going well and everything is going our way that we secretly think in our heart "I shall never be moved" or maybe when we're doing well spiritually that we think to ourselves "I shall never be moved"

Just as the Psalmist David catches himself in the "I shall never be moved" trap, he acknowledges whom it is that keeps us standing. It is the LORD Himself. It is the Lord and by His favour that we remain standing.

So the next time we are tempted to think that we have arrived and shall never be moved, remember - that it is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not.

Thank You, Lord. (:

It is of the Lord'S mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. 23 They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness. 24 The Lord is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him. 25 The Lord is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him. 26 It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the Lord. 27 It is good for a man that he bear the yoke in his youth.

Lam 3:22-27 (KJV)

Lord, be my portion.
