I Shall Not Be Moved!

Psalm 1:3 KJV, “And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.”

I read this verse and I was reminded of the old hymn that we often sang when I was a kid growing up in a little North Dakota city.

Jesus is my Savior, I shall not be moved;
In His love and favor, I shall not be moved,
Just like a tree that's planted by the waters,
Lord, I shall not be moved.

In my Christ abiding, I shall not be moved;
In His love I'm hiding, I shall not be moved,
Just like a tree that's planted by the waters,
Lord, I shall not be moved.

If I trust Him ever, I shall not be moved;
He will fail me never, I shall not be moved,
Just like a tree that's planted by the waters,
Lord, I shall not be moved. 

On His word I'm feeding, I shall not be moved;
He's the One that's leading, I shall not be moved,
Just like a tree that's planted by the waters,
Lord, I shall not be moved. 

Chorus
I shall not be, I shall not be moved;
I shall not be, I shall not be moved;
Just like a tree that's planted by the waters,
Lord, I shall not be moved.

~ I want to be rooted and grounded next to the” rivers of water” that provide all the spiritual nourishment I need to become the kind of “tree” that Jesus wants to be… Flourishing and having abundant “fruit”….being profitable and making a difference in those around me.  I will not allow this world or the unfavorable circumstances that come my way to uproot me.  I shall not be moved…I shall not relocate…I shall not budge.  I will remain steadfastly right where He has planted me.   ♥
