“They do not know or understand; they wander in darkness. All the foundations of the earth are shaken.” (Psalm 82:5 )
How Should You Respond When Your World Is Shaken Up?
- Don’t be surprised!
“I have told you these things so that in Me you may have peace. You will have suffering in this world. Be courageous! I have conquered the world.” (John 16:33 )
Main Sources For Every Problem We Face:
my old nature; the world; Satan; God
- Consider how God might use the problem/challenge you’re facing.
“For I know the plans I have for you”—this is the Lord’s declaration—“plans for your welfare, not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.” (Jeremiah 29:11 )
Why Does God Shake Things Up?
- To inspect (Jeremiah 17:10
)
Ask yourself: What is this revealing about me?
- To correct (Hebrews 12:8-11
, Job 5:17
)
Ask yourself: What is this teaching me?
- To direct (Proverbs 16:9
)
Ask yourself: Where is this leading me?
- To protect (Job 36:16
)
Ask yourself: How is this protecting me?
- To perfect (1 Peter 5:10
, Romans 5:3-4
)
Ask yourself: Where and how can I grow from this?
- Trust God even though I don’t understand it.
“A man’s steps are determined by the Lord, so how can anyone understand his own way?” (Proverbs 20:24 )
“ 5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not rely on your own understanding; 6 think about Him in all your ways, and He will guide you on the right paths.” (Proverbs 3:5-6 )
