The Great ASHAKENING

Yes folks that is spelled correct. Yesturday our Senior Pastor talked about the current issues in America. He said that he felt that God was shaking the World up in order to rid us of the dirt. The one analogy that he used that really helped me put it into perspective was, when you take the rug that sits under your kitchen sink and you go outside and you shake it out, what happens, a cloud of dust comes out of it...we continue to shake the rug until we get no more dust and dirt coming from the rug right, well God does the same hing with the world, he just gives it a little shake and removes what ever dirt and debreee there is. Pastor Phil also talked about how if we are an object that is grounded so firmly in the rock that we cannot be shaken then we will remain, every time that GOD shakes out the weak shakable items. This morning I was thinking about this and I got a song in my head that I ironically couldn't shake...but it went well with what was being said yesturday...so here it is...


Natalie Grant~~ I Will Not Be Moved

I have been a wayward child,
I have acted out,
I have questioned sovereignty,
and had my share of doubts,

And though sometimes,
my prayers feel like their bouncing off the sky,
the hand that holds won't let me go,
and is the reason why

I will stumble, I will fall down
But I will not be moved
I will make mistakes, I will face heartache,
But I will not be moved

On Christ the solid rock I stand,
All other ground is sinking sand,
I will not be moved

Bitterness has plagued my heart,
many times before,
My life has been a broken glass,
and I have kept the score,
of all my shattered dreams,
and though it seemed,
that I was far too gone,
my brokenness helped me to see,
it's grace I'm standing on.

I will stumble, I will fall down
But I will not be moved
I will make mistakes, I will face heartache,
But I will not be moved

On Christ the solid rock I stand,
All other ground is sinking sand,
I will not be moved

And chaos in my life,
has been a badge I've worn,
and though I have been torn,
I will not be moved

I will make mistakes, I will face heartache,
But i will not be moved

On Christ the solid rock I stand,
all other ground is sinking sand,
I will not be moved
