He knows we are weak - He gives His strength. He knows we are fearful - He gives His peace. As we hold tightly to Him, He proves Himself faithful - every time. I hope that Full of Hope is getting better every day. God bless you and your family.<br /><br />Sarah - Thank you so much. I really appreciate your very kind words. You have said exactly what I (and many of my friends) have been feeling lately - wanting something, a purpose, God's calling - but not sure what that looks like. But I do know that God KNOWS, and in His perfect timing, the way will be made clear. Maybe this is just our "shaking" time!<br /><br />Stan - He is the Master of the "Shake, Rattle, and Roll," isn't He?! But always for a good purpose - to make us more like Him. I'm so very pleased that you're along on this journey with me. Don't worry about the invitation - I appreciate it - and I am pleased to follow you, too!<br /><br />GOD BLESS!Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00840994989201507494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1339391758957076684.post-77675139091782555742010-11-17T19:49:14.734-08:002010-11-17T19:49:14.734-08:00God seems to shake us when we need it and we'r...God seems to shake us when we need it and we're always the better for it.<br /><br />I’ve been following and enjoying your blog for a while now and would like to invite you to visit and perhaps follow me back.

God is holding me close. The shaking is for a purpose. That I will learn to hold on to him, and be strengthened.<br /><br />Thank you for the beautiful prayers you prayed for my grandson.<br /><br />Love<br />LidjCrown of Beautyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08993686012020045284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1339391758957076684.post-45077358499512863012010-11-16T22:15:40.143-08:002010-11-16T22:15:40.143-08:00Toyin - His strength, and His strength alone!

God is ever shaking everything that can be shaken in our life that the only thing that remains his strenght and strenght alone.

He gives us wisdom and guidance. He lights the way with His truth. I agree - I find that VERY encouraging!!<br /><br />Betty - Oh yes, the "shakens" are rough going. I am getting better at trusting God's goodness in the middle of the storm, though. And in remembering that He wants to make me more like Him. You hit on the secret to peace in the middle of the shaking - the blessed assurance that He loves me!<br /><br />Janet - You KNOW how much I love word pictures! The earthquake was a wonderful example! And I just loved how you took the idea of standing in the door frame, and turned that into a great spiritual lesson. God's Word does bring safety, comfort, and assurance. Yeah, we've had our share of "shaking" lately, haven't we?! But we stand, SECURE, on the solid foundation of our Lord! Love you too!<br /><br />Anita - I'm glad you liked this. Yup, I thought "life queasy" summed it up pretty good. Of course, to take that "boat" image a little further - in the middle of the storm, we know what happens when the Master speaks!! INSTANT CALM!<br /><br />Wanda - That's a great verse! We are LED through the shaking into a place of abundance! That is a tremendous promise. The end result, if we trust God in the shaking, is a MUCH better place. Closer to God, and more useful for His purposes!<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by, friends.<br /><br />Hope you come back soon.<br /><br />GOD BLESS!Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00840994989201507494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1339391758957076684.post-66005098995553699062010-11-14T19:54:37.406-08:002010-11-14T19:54:37.406-08:00Sharon, today's message at church came from Ps...Sharon, today's message at church came from Psalms 66:12 and it goes along so well with what you've stated here.
