Isaiah 40:4 Every valley shall be raised up, every mountain and hill made low; the rough ground shall become level, the rugged places a plain.
This verse, to me, is exactly what Jesus does in our lives when we surrender to Him. We are not shaken by what the world brings at us. We have still waters that run deep in the midst of chaos around us. The Spirit stirs within to give us a holy perspective and assure us of the hope we have in Christ. This is what it means when we say, "Nothing can steal our joy!" There is a steadiness that comes with Jesus because He is so constant. He is always the same and so is His love. He cares so deeply for each and every one of us and when we can embrace that unconditional love for ourselves, we live in freedom and hope. We are not shaken by the world because we are not of the world when we live in the Spirit. Praise be to Him who sent His Son so that we are no longer slaves to the world, but children of God!
