Twelve Unshakable Scriptures to Stand On

My husband and I love spending time with our kids at the park. One particular park near our church has a playground with a bridge leading from one end of the play structure to the other. This bridge is designed to wobble, shake, rattle and scare the living daylights out of mothers with young toddlers!

Whenever my youngest attempts to cross the bridge, my heart usually skips a few beats. “What if she loses her balance and falls off the structure?” I wonder to myself. It reminds me of movies with wobbly, broken bridges. Somehow the hero of the movie always manages to just barely make it across the bridge before the entire structure collapses and plummets into a raging river below!

Sometimes we think that God is like that rickety bridge. Our circumstances try to convince us that walking across on his bridge will ultimately lead to our destruction or demise. We edge along one board at a time, not trusting if his structure will hold each footstep we take. We doubt his goodness, and look at him with suspicion and careful caution.

In our minds we sometimes wonder…

“Will he answer my prayer?”
“Will he come through for me?”
“Will he provide for me?”
“Does he see my pain?”

The answer to all of these questions is a resounding YES!

We can rest secure in the truth that he is immovable, unshakable, firm, and steadfast. Life may teeter and wobble around us, but Jesus is the rock-solid bridge we can trust to get us across the troubled waters beneath us.

When our emotions are riddled with insecurity, our hearts can stand on the secure foundation of our hope in Christ. He is our security. Our hearts can stand on the secure foundation of our hope in Christ. He is our fortress and strong tower. Because we are secure in him, we will never be shaken.

That means we are…

immovable…
unshakable…
and ultimately,
UNSTOPPABLE.

When your emotions take you for a tailspin and leave you feeling wobbly and weak, stand on his solid truths:

My soul finds rest in God alone; my salvation comes from him. He alone is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will never be shaken. Psalm 62:1-2

We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. Hebrews 6:19

Whatever uncertain events come your way, rest secure in the strength of your Savior. Find security in him—and you will never be shaken.

Here are twelve verses we can confidently stand on when we need assurance of his unshakable truth.
