Few of us have experienced an earthquake, but those who have testify to a disorienting, fearful experience. A friend of mine was overseas in an area hit by an earthquake several years back. While she was not at the devastated epicenter, the quake caused all in her area to panic and go into a mode of fear for the next weeks. While we may not have lived through a physical earthquake, many of us have lived or are living through a disorienting experience and know the resulting deep fear.
Earlier I wrote about Negative Truth versus Greater Truth. Negative Truths are those that bind us in fear and despair as we look down and in. Greater Truth leads to peace and joy as we look up at Truth Himself. One negative truth is that we are shaken by our trials. The greater Truth is that "I will not be greatly shaken" (Psalm 62:1). Shaken, yes, but not greatly. God won't let us be shaken out of our salvation in Him. He has the strength to get us through every hard thing and bring us out stronger in Him on the other side.
