He was bruised and rejected; did not find room in the inn, so God laid Him in your manger.
Can you accept it?
We're celebrating in this joyful Christmas holiday pleasant family time, good food and gifts, but the greatest of all is our Lord who is in our hearts. He was laid in a smelly manger because there was no room for Him in the inn. Is was stinky, not in order, and very uncomfortable.
Luk 2:7 NASB And she gave birth to her firstborn son; and she wrapped Him in cloths, and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.
This is where our King was laid. It was the only place found for Him. It's the manger of your heart. Yes, the Father knew it was smelly but He still chose you to lay His Son in your manger. You might feel you want to be in an inn, in a clean, fragrant, orderly place around you, and you find yourself surrounded with your flesh. But look who lives inside of you – the most treasured possession of all. Your smelly manger became a place to house the Lord.
Unlike His gone astray bride who was thrown in the field and was not wrapped in any cloth (Ezekiel 16), when His Son was laid in the manger of our heart the Father made sure He was wrapped with cloths. As His body, He made sure you are clothed, wrapped, protected, and no longer in your nakedness.
The Father has wrapped Him with His garment which He has given you as His bride. You are wrapped under His wings. Feel safe and secure, be comforted and loved by Him who loves you in all circumstances.
Luk 2:8 In the same region there were someshepherds staying out in the fields and keeping watch over their flock by night.
The Father even sent shepherds to seek Him at such a young stage in His life because when Jesus lives in you, it is a wonder. Who could believe that the King of kings would be in such a stinky place?
These shepherds who went to seek Him got a sign: "This will be a sign for you: you will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger." (Luk 2:12)
The sign for finding Jesus is not "go to the inn, to the hotel, to a clean house, an orderly temple, and you will find Jesus". The sign to find Jesus is " go to where the animals, those with the fleshy nature, the filthy ones, the messy, the sinners - and you will find Jesus.
Light belongs in the darkness. God sent His Son to those who know their fleshy animal nature is weak and they need a Savior and a Physician. It's those who are forgiven much who love much, Jesus said. It's those who know how messed up they are, who love much. Why? Because they realize how much God loves and accepts them with all their mess.
When these shepherds (messengers who care about His sheep) found Jesus in the manger (not in a clean, neat, orderly house, hotel or temple) they made known what they had heard and seen to others. They became witnesses to that truth "Jesus is found in a manger, He was put in a stinky, smelly, messy place, not in an orderly clean temple". As good shepherds they spread this Good News (Gospel) and all who heard were at wonder.
Luk 2:17-18 NASB When they had seen this, they made known the statement which had been told them about this Child. (18) And all who heard it wondered at the things which were told them by the shepherds... 2:20 The shepherds went back, glorifying and praising God for all that they had heard and seen, just as had been told them.
Rejoice in Him who came and was put in your heart. You might look messy and smelly like a manger, but God still decided to lay Him in your mess by choice. Other shepherds who care for sheep will find Him right there in your smelly messy manger and be able to spread this Good News: "We found Jesus in this smelly animal house and God said it is "peace on earth to those with whom He is pleased".
It pleased Him to do so. He chose you to live in your heart; it's not you who chose Him. You will find Jesus in you in the midst of your manger, in smelly times, in fleshy times, in messy times. It's in the midst of our stench and darkness that God shines His light.
So, don't look at you're smelly, stinky, fleshy house, the mess and how ugly it is around you. Your temple with its stench is temporary and will be replaced. Look at the One who lives inside your manger; the Son of God who shined His light in your darkness and said "peace, I am pleased with you". The Father will finish what He started in you and make sure Jesus in you grows up. You are His beloved and He is well pleased with you, because He makes no mistakes. His plan was to send His Son to be born in a smelly manger.
Smell the One who lives inside you and see His beauty in you and you will find peace.
Luk 2:14 "Glory to God in highest heaven, and peace on earth to those with whom God is pleased."
A Vision
I saw an old deserted broken wooden house in the woods. It's windows were shattered, the roof was falling apart, no color or life to it. Thorns and weeds were growing in the inside of it, cob webs everywhere. No one had lives in it for many years. Who would want to live in such a house?
I saw the Lord entering this house and sitting there on a chair. He decided to make it His house and live there. I asked Him "Lord, why would you want to live in such a house? Look at all the mess, the weeds, the thorns, the brokenness?".
He said to me "Elana, this is My house and I chose to live in you. I will make it beautiful and shiny. Leave the restoration to Me."
What's messy, ugly, stinky, and rejected is a stumbling block to religious hearts.
Then Jesus asked them, "Didn't you ever read this in the Scriptures? 'The stone that the builders rejected has now become the cornerstone.This is the LORD's doing, and it is wonderful to see.'(43)I tell you, the Kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a nation that will produce the proper fruit.(44)Anyone who stumbles over that stone will be broken to pieces, and it will crush anyone it falls on. "
Mat 21:42-44
Learn to accept God's love for you with all your mess.
This is why He said…
Isa 53:1-12Who believes what we've heard and seen?Who would have thought GOD's saving power would look like this?(2) The servant grew up before God--a scrawny seedling, a scrubby plant in a parched field. There was nothing attractive about him, nothing to cause us to take a second look.(3) He was looked down on and passed over, a man who suffered, who knew pain firsthand. One look at him and people turned away. We looked down on him, thought he was scum. (4) But the fact is, it was our pains he carried-- our disfigurements, all the things wrong with us. We thought he brought it on himself, that God was punishing him for his own failures.(5) But it was our sins that did that to him, that ripped and tore and crushed him--our sins! He took the punishment, and that made us whole. Through his bruises we get healed. (6) We're all like sheep who've wandered off and gotten lost. We've all done our own thing, gone our own way. And GOD has piled all our sins, everything we've done wrong, on him, on him. (7) He was beaten, he was tortured, but he didn't say a word. Like a lamb taken to be slaughtered and like a sheep being sheared, he took it all in silence…. Still, it's what GOD had in mind all along, to crush him with pain. The plan was that he give himself as an offering for sin so that he'd see life come from it--life, life, and more life. And GOD's plan will deeply prosper through him.(11) Out of that terrible travail of soul, he'll see that it's worth it and be glad he did it. Through what he experienced, my righteous one, my servant, will make many "righteous ones," as he himself carries the burden of their sins. (12) Therefore I'll reward him extravagantly-- the best of everything, the highest honors-- Because he looked death in the face and didn't flinch, because he embraced the company of the lowest. He took on his own shoulders the sin of the many, he took up the cause of all the black sheep.
But you are the ones chosen by God, chosen for the high calling of priestly work, chosen to be a holy people, God's instruments to do his work and speak out for him, to tell others of the night-and-day difference he made for you-- (10) from nothing to something, from rejected to accepted. (11) Friends, this world is not your home, so don't make yourselves cozy in it. Don't indulge your ego at the expense of your soul.
1Pe 2:9-11
God's promise for His rejected ones who find it hard to believe He loves them with all their failures and mess.
You'll be a stunning crown in the palm of GOD's hand, a jeweled gold cup held high in the hand of your God. (4) No more will anyone call you Rejected, and your country will no more be called Ruined. You'll be called Hephzibah (My Delight), and your land Beulah (Married), Because GOD delights in you and your land will be like a wedding celebration. (5) For as a young man marries his virgin bride, so your builder marries you, And as a bridegroom is happy in his bride, so your God is happy with you.
Isa 62:3-5
"now that you have had a taste of the Lord's kindness. (4) You are coming to Christ, who is the living cornerstone of God's temple. He was rejected by people, but He was chosen by God for great honor. (5) And you are living stones that God is building into His spiritual temple. What's more, you are His holy priests. Through the mediation of Jesus Christ, you offer spiritual sacrifices that please God".
1Pe 2:3-5
"But if an angel from heaven appears—a special messenger to intercede for a person and declare that he is upright— (24) he will be gracious and say, 'Rescue him from the grave, for I have found a ransom for his life.' (25) Then his body will become as healthy as a child's, firm and youthful again. (26) When he prays to God, he will be accepted. And God will receive him with joy and restore him to good standing. (27) He will declare to his friends, 'I sinned and twisted the truth, but it was not worth it. (28)God rescued me from the grave, and now my life is filled with light.' (29) "Yes, God does these things again and again for people. (30) He rescues them from the grave so they may enjoy the light of life.
Job 33:23-30 NLT
Yes, He was bruised and rejected; did not find room in the inn, so God laid Him in your manger.
Jesus is Calling and Positioning the Little Children
December 9th, 2009
We're living in a time where the Father is about to reveal the Sons of God. It is a time of preparation by restoration. The Lord is restoring the hearts of the fathers to turn to the sons and the hearts of the sons to turn to the fathers (Malachi 4:6).
I have shared a word in our church in May 2009 that the Lord is raising up spiritual mothers and fathers in the church. We will see spiritual children hungry for spiritual parents and parents taking their place as spiritual moms and dads to care for the children the Lord has given them.
One might say "We always had spiritual parents in the church". It is true. However, these sons who become parents will raise up a generation who will be set free from the Law; from religion; from man-made laws; from a Pharisaic mindset. His children will be set free from a slave mentality, orphan mindset. The rejected will know the acceptance of the Lord. His kids will know He no longer points to their sins. Pointing to sin and focusing on sin in their walk with the Lord will not be the focus. The Lord has dealt with sin, so why are we still trying to deal with it, find what’s wrong with us, and how to fix it? He fixed it for us. He even left sin outside the city gate where Jesus was crucified – in the Dung Gate. He removed sin forever, and His love keeps no account of wrong – so why are we still searching for what’s wrong with us?
Let me ask you a question. When the Israelites offered a Lamb for the covering of their sins, they would give the Lamb to the High Priest for inspection of any blemishes (sins).
Was it the person who brought the Lamb who was INSPECTED for blemishes, or was it the LAMB who was inspected?
In modern language, does our High Priest inspect YOU for your sins and then decides if YOU are acceptable? Does He look for your sins and searches for what’s wrong, sick, defected, failing weak in YOU?
No, He doesn’t need to inspect YOU. It’s only the Lamb who had already been inspected and found without any blemish, no fault was found in Him. Therefore, you have a covering.
Then, why are we still inspecting ourselves and others for blemishes?
In no way am I saying "go sin", but I am saying God has already dealt with sin, let's focus on who we have become. Let's stop focusing on who we're not, what we're failing, missing, cannot, don't have. Isn't it what the snake did to Eve? He accused her for who she is not. And she believed she is blind, with no wisdom and is not in God's image. It's the Accuser who points to who we're not and focuses on nakedness, sees nakedness and points to it. He is attracted to sin and wants us focused on it.
The spiritual fathers and mothers the Lord is raising as little children will be revealed the image of the Father and will raise up a generation set free from a slave mentality which comes from under the Law. The Lord designed His family in a way that as long as their little they will live under a guardian (the Law, the Nanny). However He also said He appointed a specific time in which His children (as they grow up) will no longer be under the Law but will be set free. That appointed time is when His Son is revealed. The true image of Himself is revealed to men. He does that in order to prepare them for their adoption as Sons. Paul was trying to tell the church in Galatia “you are sons, no longer slaves and under the Law” (Gal 4:1-7).
Gal 4:1-7 NASBNow I say, as long as the heir is a child, he does not differ at all from a slave although he is owner of everything,(2)but he is under guardians and managers until the date set by the father.(3)So also we, while we were children, were held in bondage under the elemental things of the world.(4)But when the fullness of the time came, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the Law,(5)so that He might redeem those who were under the Law, that we might receive the adoption as sons.(6)Because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into our hearts, crying, "Abba! Father!"(7)Therefore you are no longer a slave, but a son; and if a son, then an heir through God.
In order to receive adoption as Sons we need to be set free from the Law – from a religious mindset, from a slave mentality, victim mentality. We need to know who we have become as new creation in Him. We need to see the Son whom God sent forth in this time of fullness in order to find who we are, and receive our adoption. The Sons of God cannot have a slave mindset and see God as a harsh task master or one looking to punish them for their wrong, or point to their sins.
When a caterpillar become s butterfly and his old identity was removed and shed from him - does he focus on his life as an earthly caterpillar? Or, does he focus on learning to fly and find who he has become?
What happens when the truth the Lord is revealing falls on the ears of Pharisees who will not be able to receive “eat My flesh and drink My blood?” “He is nuts, and out of His mind. How can He say such things. Who has ever heard such a message?”
What will come out of our hearts when we hear new truth and there is nothing in us that can understand it? It’s what’s coming out of our hearts that defile us. We need to guard our hearts.
The Lord is also bringing healing to the heart of His children in the area of relationships with parents and children. He is doing that by pouring out a greater measure of a revelation as Himself as a Father.
In order to become spiritual parents we need to know Him as our Father. We are the generation that is called to bring a revelation of the Lord as our Dad. The way the church is operating as a Body is changing. God has created a family, not a membership club. He wants us to operate as a family with spiritual parents who raise up spiritual children.
When the Lord chose one Gentile man in order to start His family, He didn't call Abram a leader, a facilitator, a coordinator; He said "You will be a father to many families on the Earth". It's fatherhood (that includes motherhood) that concerns Him. The Lord is fulfilling the prophecy He has spoken about in Malachi about returning the hearts of fathers and children to each other.
This is what He is doing with His children. He is revealing Himself to them as their Dad in ways not known before, with new revelations of who He is as a Dad, and raising up His Sons to know Him personally for their lives. These spiritual kids will become fathers and mothers who will do "church" differently. Church as we know it is changing it's format. It's about seeing Him in new ways, finding our identity in Him and becoming child-like but at the same time fathers and mothers.
The Lord is calling His little children (those who have child-like faith) to come and take their position in the midst of the congregation and BE who He says they are. They will find their identity in Him as they see who He is for them.
Matthew 18:1–6 At that time the disciples came to Jesus, saying, 'Who then is greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven?' Then Jesus called a little child to Him, set him in the midst of them, and said, 'Assuredly, I say to you, unless you are converted and become as little children, you will by no means enter the Kingdom of Heaven… Therefore whoever humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven. Whoever receivesone little child like this in My namereceives Me.
These (spiritual) kids not matter what their natural age, are being raised up as Sons. They might see themselves as small, young, unskilled, inexperienced, insignificant, pushed aside, disregarded, but the Lord is calling them. He wants them to see who He is in them. He wants them to know they are significant and precious to Him. It's His Son in them. It's who He says they are, not how they see themselves in their own eyes. It's not about who you're not, it's about who He is.
These kids who experience Him as their Dad will be witnesses who testify of who the Lord is for them. They will speak of the things they have seen and heard and what He will reveal to them. Fresh revelations of the Lord as our Father are coming to the Body. "Come to Me as My little children and do not be afraid to let go of who you think you are. Like Abraham, let go of you identity in the world and let Me show you who you are in Me. As I reveal Myself to you, you will find who you are in Me. I have made you in my image, but I want you to see My image so you can know who I have made you. You are not a mistake; you are not an outcast, you are not a garbage, or a failure. I don't make mistakes. I chose you because it is you that I want and adopted as My child. You are My child; Yes you are Mine and I will show you how much I love you".
The Lord is returning the hearts of His kids to him as their Father and their hearts will be drawn to Him. They will be hungry for Him; wanting more of His love, His confidence, and His heart for them. It's an awakening because His heart for them as a Dad stirs their hearts to want Him as their Dad. They will respond to Him.
There is nothing you can do to BECOME a son or become a bride. You already are, but in your journey with the Lord you are finding out what it really means. Al you need is to respond to Him and receive His love. This means the Lord is removing the obstacles, healing the wounds, renewing mindset, building a foundation in the hearts of His children who need to be rooted and established in this Father-Child relationship.
This applies to mother-child relationship as well. After all if you find yourself unable to receive from a woman, and you feel a wall in the area of having a woman as a spiritual mother, you will find difficulty building an intimate relationship with the Holy Spirit who is your comforter. He comforts us like a mother comforts her child.
Isa 66:12-14 NASB For thus says the LORD, "Behold, I extend peace to her like a river, And the glory of the nations like an overflowing stream; And you will be nursed, you will be carried on the hip and fondled on the knees. (13) "As one whom his mother comforts, so I will comfort you; And you will be comforted in Jerusalem." (14) Then you will see this, and your heart will be glad, And your bones will flourish like the new grass;
It's those who are hungry for His love who respond to Him. It's not about thinking "I love God" as Peter thought "I would die for You,Lord". It's about Him loving you. He puts a hunger in you for His love and wants you to know, and experience His love.
It's about knowing "He loves me despite of who I'm not". It's who He is for you, and not who you are for Him; that changes you. He wants who you are to be a manifestation of who He is in you. You can only love Him because He reveals such love to you that changes you from the inside.
Yes, we call Him Father and we pray to Him as our Father, but He's been speaking to me about His children not really knowing Him as their Dad. They live as orphans and need a personal revelation of his love for them as their Dad. The Dad they always wanted who is confident in who He is, protects and shields them. A loving Father who no longer sees His children as slaves, but as Sons, however in their own mindset they still see themselves as slaves. This is how the prodigal son saw himself with his father. "father, I messed up and I am no longer worthy to be your son, so I'll be your servant". However, the Father showed him his true identity as a Son. "No matter how messed up you are, let Me show you who you really are, just return to Me and let Me be your Dad". He did not point to his son's mess.
It's about receiving His love which the Father has already poured out in our hearts by putting the Holy Spirit in us. Meaning, it's the Holy Spirit in our hearts who reveal His love for us. Therefore having a personal revelation of the love of the Father, or the Love of Jesus as our Lover means knowing the Holy Spirit who is in us. Rom 5:5 NIV And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us.
Receiving His love means receiving the Holy Spirit and not quenching or grieving Him. All He wants to do is love us. God is Love. If we cannot receive His love we resist the Holy Spirit who was poured out in our hearts. Do we walk condemned? No. We ask Him to remove the mindset that blocks us from receiving His love.
The Holy Spirit prepares us as a Bride who will be in love with her Lover. He helps us receive His love so we assume our position as a Beloved. When our relationship with the Holy Spirit is flowing, then the Spirit and the Bride together in one heart say to the Bridegroom "Come" (Rev 22:17). Why? Because the Bride is ready for the wedding.
God's love is already in our hearts, we just need to find it, experience it, receive it, live in it, possess it, and become it. We need to see that love who is already in our hearts. The treasure the Lord put in you needs to be revealed to YOU first. You need to find God's thoughts for you and His love for you by becoming child-like and at the same time a Beloved.
Finding it and experiencing it means finding HIM and experiencing Him; receiving Him, finding our being in Him, possessing Him, treasuring Him in our heart and becoming as Him. We are already in His image and form but our mind does not see it yet. We need to see us through His eyes. This is why Paul said…
Col 2:2 NLT I want them to be encouraged and knit together by strong ties of love. I want them to have complete confidence that they understand God's mysterious plan, which is Christ Himself.
We need to see who He is, so we can see who we are. We need to find our true identity and see how He sees us – complete in Jesus.
Col 2:9-10 NASB For in Him all the fullness of Deity dwells in bodily form, (10) and in Him you have been made complete, and He is the head over all rule and authority;
Our minds need to be renewed so we can see who He says we are in Him.
This is so we can receive our promise by our Father – receiving the Holy Spirit, receiving His love and His Promised Heart.
Luk 24:49 NASB "And behold, I am sending forth the promise of My Father upon you; but you are to stay in the city until you are clothed with power from on high."
The Lord is calling for the little children and they will respond and come to Him. He will position them in the midst of the assembly and we need to receive them.
It's the spiritually hungry who hear and respond. The prostitutes will respond and come; the spiritually blind, lame, deaf, mute, and messed up; will responded and come. Why? Because they are ready to receive who He is and what He has for them.
The lepers, tax collectors, prostitutes, sick and needy came because they were in a place of great need. They were rejected by religion. They respond to a love they have never seen or experienced before. Those with child-like faith who respond and come as the Lord is calling them; hear His voice. As they come He will position them and then say... He will speak His voice.
"Then Jesus called a little child toHim, set him in the midst of them, and said," Matthew 18
How will we respond when we see all the messed up ones coming and responding to His love? After all, no one can come to the Son unless the Father draws him to His Son.
Can we imagine the religious ones seeing the lame, blind, prostitutes, messed up, and little kids, responding to Him? Simon the Pharisee struggled with religious mindset and didn't understand how Jesus could allow such a messed up woman to touch Him.
How will we respond when we see Him calling the little ones, the young ones, the inexperienced ones, and He will position them in our midst?
1Ch 29:1 NASB Then King David said to the entire assembly, "My son Solomon, whom alone God has chosen, is still young and inexperienced and the work is great; for the temple is not for man, but for the LORD God.
David knew he was about to leave, so He made sure to raise up the next generation so the Lord will use them to build His House.
1Ch 22:5 NASB David said, "My son Solomon is young and inexperienced, and the house that is to be built for the LORD shall be exceedingly magnificent, famous and glorious throughout all lands. Therefore now I will make preparation for it."So David made ample preparations before his death.
A religious mindset might think, "How can these little ones be of any good for God? What do they know? How can they teach me, feed me care for me? You're just a kid, what do you know?You're going to be my Pastor?
But this is what He is doing. He is raising up the little kids, the young ones, those with child-like faith, those whom He calls to come to Him; and they respond. They come to Him as little children and they will be positioned in the midst of the church. We need to receive them. He stands with them and He will speak His voice. "Receive them; I positioned them there; don't be offended"
What God is doing in the Spiritual is shown to us as a visual aid in the physical.
Matthew 18:1–7 At that time the disciples came to Jesus, saying, 'Who then is
greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven?' Then Jesus called a little child toHim, set him in the midst of them, and said, .... Whoever receivesone little child like this in My name receives Me. ... 7 MKJV Woe to the world because of offenses! For it is necessary that offenses come; but woe to that man by whom the offense comes!
The Father fastened His Son as a nail in a sure place and on Him He hangs the offspring and offshoots—all the small vessels, the lesser vessels; the lowliest members of his family, the little ones.
Isa 22:21-24 MKJV and I will clothe him with your robe, and will fasten your girdle on him, and I will give your authority into his hand. And he shall be a father to the people of Jerusalem and to the house of Judah.(22)And the key of the house of David I will lay on his shoulder; so he shall open, and none shall shut; and he shall shut, and none shall open.(23) And I will fasten him as a nail in a sure place; and he shall be for a glorious throne to his father's house. (24) And they shall hang on him all the glory of his father's house, (Who? All the little vessels, the child-like kids) the offspring and the offshoots, all small vessels, from the vessels of cups, even to all the vessels of jars.
Samuel was a child when he was wearing his priestly clothes and serving God.
1Sa 2:18 MKJV And Samuel served before Jehovah, a child girded with a linen ephod.
God is changing the way we do family. His family is going through shifting as He positions the ones He calls and puts them in the midst of the congregation. We need to receive these who seem little, young, or inexperienced. They are responding to His call.
If changes are coming to the Body and it feels like shaking, it's not about what we don't understand, or what others are doing. It's always about what's coming out of our hearts. Whatever is exposed, this is the area the Lord wants to heal. He heals by revealing His love for us. It's His perfect love that casts out the fear in us.
Every change and storm is always about having a deeper relationship with the Lord as He wants to reveal to us something new about Himself. He allows us to go through such places.
Whatever is coming out of your heart; if it's fear, confusion, doubt, criticism, not having your needs met, seeing changes that are uncomfortable, it's time to ask Him:
"What are You doing, Lord?
"What do You want me to do?"
"Give me wisdom and direction, Lord?"
"Help me not trust my own understanding, but lean on You.
Job complained to God about his situation, and even argued with Him, but when the Lord asked him "will you find fault with Me? Are you correcting Me?" Job decided to shut his mouth and not say a word.
Job 40:1-6 NASB Then the LORD said to Job, (2) "Will the faultfinder contend with the Almighty? Let him who reproves God answer it."(3) Then Job answered the LORD and said, (4) "Behold, I am insignificant; what can I reply to You? I lay my hand on my mouth.(5) "Once I have spoken, and I will not answer; Even twice, and I will add nothing more." (6) Then the LORD answered Job out of the storm …"
Psa 39:1-4 NASB I said, "I will guard my ways That I may not sin with my tongue; I will guard my mouth as with a muzzle While the wicked are in my presence." (2)I was mute and silent, I refrained even from good, And my sorrow grew worse. (3) My heart was hot within me, While I was musing the fire burned (David was angry); ThenI spoke with my tongue:(4)"LORD, make me to know … ; Let me know…"
I pray the Lord will give you much peace and will guide you in your walk with Him as you rest in Him. I pray the Lord will hide you in His Secret place and you will rest in Him through any shaking or storm.
