Mountain-Shaking -Hills- Be-Removed Problems

Problems.  They can be big.  So big that it is all that we can think about.  Isaiah talked about the big problems as the  mountain-shaking-hills-be-removed kind of problem:

    Though the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed,
   yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken
    nor my covenant of peace be removed," says the LORD, who has
   compassion on you. Isaiah 54:10

When we first are in the mountain-shaking-hills-be-removed kind of problem peace seems impossible. The thing is . . . peace is as close as Christ presence  . . . through His unfailing love.   What Isaiah is saying that the peace of God will not leave us, regardless of how difficult life becomes.  How do we know?  God came. It is what Christmas is all about . . . Immanuel . . . God with us.   

That said, we must make the choice to seek God before anything or anyone else. And, listen, that is not always easy when it comes to mountain-shaking-hills-be-removed kind of problems. It really comes down to whether we trust Christ or not:

   You will keep in perfect peace
     those whose minds are steadfast,
     because they trust in you. (Isaiah 26: 2)

Perfect peace goes hand-in-hand with trust in Christ, God with us.

Though the world around us is shaken with problems and crisis, we can
trust Christ for the peace that has been promised.  Choose to live in the unshakeable peace of Christ, God with us.

Learning to KickStart the day in  unshakeable peace even in the mountain-shaking-hills-be-removed kind of problems,
