Unbreakable Promises, Unshakable Confidence

Passage: Psalm 62

I am detecting a conspiracy going on, someone is in cahoots.  Last summer’s Serve theme was the unshakable kingdom.  The Cadets theme was “be strong and courageous,” in other words unshakable.  And now the Gems theme is unshakable.  You get the feeling someone in Grand Rapids is trying get our attention and tells us something.

Maybe the shaking world we live in is motivating them.  The GEMS litany starts out acknowledging that by quoting Jesus, “In the world you will have tribulation” (John 6:33).

So what are we to do in this troubled and troubling world?  Especially what are we to do when we are afraid?  You GEMS girls, what do you do when you are afraid?  Do you turn to mom and dad, or to a friend, or your dog or horse?

Where do we turn when some part of our world is being shaken?  I know you have been talking about that this year.

Your GEMS theme verse for this year comes from Psalm 62.  This Psalm has written by David at a time he was feeling some shaking, something that was causing fear, anxiety, stress.  He was being shaken.

What should we do when we are being shaken?  Let’s notice three things from this Psalm.
