Avalanche of Sorrows




Do you feel overwhelmed? Tired? Discouraged? Frustrated?
Are you experiencing a dreadful feeling of giving up? Hopelessness?

Well, you are not alone.  There are many believers who are enduring trials that are shaking their faith.  But nonetheless it is not meant to kill them.

I strongly believe that in this time of shaking, God is reestablishing a firm foundation that has weakened through times of adversity in the life of the believer.  God is preparing those to stand in what lies ahead.  They will not survive unless their weakened foundations are torn and rebuilt. Only the LORD knows the true spiritual condition one is in because the heart is deceitful above all things.  We may think we have crossed all the "i's" and "t's" in our spiritual journey and our foundation is secured but God sees what we cannot.

Rest assure that He is with you in the shaking and will rescue you out of the avalanche of sorrows! Trust Him.  Rest in Him.

Matthew 7:24-27 The Message (MSG)

24-25 “These words I speak to you are not incidental additions to your life, homeowner improvements to your standard of living. They are foundational words, words to build a life on. If you work these words into your life, you are like a smart carpenter who built his house on solid rock. Rain poured down, the river flooded, a tornado hit—but nothing moved that house. It was fixed to the rock.

26-27 “But if you just use my words in Bible studies and don’t work them into your life, you are like a stupid carpenter who built his house on the sandy beach. When a storm rolled in and the waves came up, it collapsed like a house of cards.”


For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ. (1 Corinthians 3:11)

"For the mountains may be removed and the hills may shake, But My lovingkindness will not be removed from you, And My covenant of peace will not be shaken," Says the LORD who has compassion on you. "O afflicted one, storm-tossed, and not comforted, Behold, I will set your stones in antimony, And your foundations I will lay in sapphires.  "Moreover, I will make your battlements of rubies, And your gates of crystal, And your entire wall of precious stones." (Isaiah 54;10-12)

Therefore thus says the Lord GOD, "Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone, a tested stone, A costly cornerstone for the foundation, firmly placed. He who believes in it will not be disturbed. ~Isaiah 28:16
