Today’s Reading:
Isaiah 26
Proverbs 18
Hebrews 12
”Perfect, absolute peace surrounds those whose imaginations are consumed with you; they confidently trust in you. Yes, trust in the Lord Yahweh forever and ever! For Yah, the Lord God, is your Rock of Ages!“
Isaiah 26:3-4 TPT
I heard the Spirit of the Living God say,
Trust and obey. The days ahead are volatile and uncertain. The way to position yourself in safety, in preparation and with the right perspective is to trust Me and to obey My voice. Voices of doubt, accusation and ones that remind of past failures or missteps are not Mine. Condemn those voices. They are from Satan. And tell them to shut up, to back up and to leave. The only voice you must listen to and heed in this time is Mine. I Am here as your champion. I have gone before you and prepared a way, even a deep place of safety and provision. But you must trust and obey the Rock on which you stand. All other ground, all other advice, all voices of doubt, backwards looking and fear are sinking sand.
”Make very sure that you never refuse to listen to God when he speaks! For the God who spoke on earth from Sinai is the same God who now speaks from heaven. Those who heard him speak his living Word on earth found nowhere to hide, so what chance is there for us to escape if we turn our backs on God and refuse to hear his warnings as he speaks from heaven? The earth was rocked at the sound of his voice from the mountain, but now he has promised, “Once and for all I will not only shake the systems of the world, but also the unseen powers in the heavenly realm!” Now this phrase “once and for all” clearly indicates the final removal of things that are shaking, that is, the old order, so only what is unshakable will remain. Since we are receiving our rights to an unshakable kingdom we should be extremely thankful and offer God the purest worship that delights his heart as we lay down our lives in absolute surrender, filled with awe. For our God is a holy, devouring fire!“
Hebrews 12:25-29 TPT
This is a time where you can celebrate in the bunker of safety I have provided. You can celebrate in this storehouse of provision with which you are equipped. Celebrate and worship from this place — even as the storm outside rages, even as the ground outside shakes. My hand is with you, it is upon you and it is for you. It is ever outstretched toward you for favor, protection and security. Trusting in the advice of men is futile. They have no idea what tomorrow holds. Trust in the one who placed the stars in the sky and knows them all by name. Trust the one who laid the foundation of the earth and positioned its pillars perfectly.
”Go, my people, into your inner chambers and close the doors behind you. Hide for a little while, until his indignation is over. For the Lord is coming out from his heavenly place to punish people for their sins. The earth itself will expose the blood spilled upon it, and the ground will no longer hide its slain.“
Isaiah 26:20-21 TPT

Heed My voice, and you will be able to celebrate and to be sheltered in safety, security and provision in this dark time. Lo I Am with you always, even to the end of the earth. Brilliant light is on the other side of this shaking.
How to Respond
- Trust the Lord and obey Him quickly and fully.
- Pray, Lord help me to position myself in You. I want to be one who is not moved by the shaking and the storms outside. You have provided a place of safety, security, provision and perspective for me. I will stand upon Your promises and Your Word, and I will not be moved.
- Declare, The character of God is a tower of strength, for the lovers of God delight to run into his heart and be exalted on high. The rich, in their conceit, imagine that their wealth is enough to protect them. It becomes their confidence in a day of trouble.
Proverbs 18:10-11 TPT - Decree, The Lord is faithful. He is a secure shelter and my hiding place. Through His love and wisdom, I am hidden and equipped with provision for the days of shaking and storming outside. I will not be moved by the accusations and doubts raised by the voice of the liar. I will have ears only for the voice of the Lord my God. I will even celebrate and experience victory in this protected place while the world outside shakes.
