I keep my eyes always on the LORD. With him at my right hand, I will not be shaken.
Life can lead us down some very rough roads and it’s in our nature to compensate with things that make us forget the pain: drugs, alcohol, sex, work, fitness, busyness, shopping, food etc.
These things take our eye off the problem for a while but ultimately create new problems. If I have a rough road to travel, I need to stay on course otherwise I’ll be stuck in a ditch and even be in the way of others.
Rough spots are a fork in the road with hard choices:
- The easy road where I take comfort in the things that lead me astray.
- The harder path: I stay focused on the destination. I take comfort in knowing that the Lord will not only guide me but use the experience to strengthen me in a new way.
I can’t say it is easy. It’s not… it IS a rough road. But when I choose to let Jesus walk at my side, I have a great teacher and counselor to trek with.
We have a spiritual enemy, Satan, who wants to keep our eyes off Jesus. His goal is to distract us with desires, false belief systems and activities that will weaken our relationship with the Lord. To win this kind of battle we have to be aware hat every temptation is an attack against our spiritual well being.
Fear will not shake my world because I am focused on the truth.
Teach me, Lord, to keep my sights on you alone and remind me that fear is an indicator I am straying from the road you have for me.
A Song for the Road
We Will Not Be Shaken
Bethel Music
For we trust in our God
And through His unfailing love
We will not be shaken,
We will not be shaken,
We will not be shaken

Though the battle rages
We will stand in the fight
Though the armies rise up against us on all sides
We will not be shaken
We will not be shaken
We will not be shaken
For in the hour of our darkest day
We will not tremble, we won’t be afraid
Hope is rising like the light of dawn
Our God is for us He has overcome
All those against Him will fall
For our God is stronger
He can do all things
No higher name we can call
For Jesus is greater
We can do all things
