3-31-07 Isaiah 54:10

Isaiah 54:10 (KJ21)
For the mountains shall depart and the hills be removed, but My kindness shall not depart from thee, neither shall the covenant of My peace be removed," saith the LORD that hath mercy on thee.

Isaiah 54:10 (NAS)
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.

Isaiah 54:10 (NIVUS)
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 (NLT)
For the mountains may depart and the hills disappear, but even then I will remain loyal to you. My covenant of blessing will never be broken, says the LORD, who has mercy on you.

If you are looking for permanence and stability, you may look to the mountains and hills of the earth as the perfect example. However, there are certain situations in which even the mountains and hills can be shaken and will totter and slip. A severe earthquake could even dislodge and move a mountain from its original location. If this happens, your sense of safety and security will also be overthrown.

There is only one thing in which you can trust completely and find the permanence and stability that you seek. Jehovah the Lord is the same yesterday, today, and forever. He will never remove His goodness, kindness, and faithfulness from you. He has made a covenant with you and pledged Himself to your welfare. He desires you to be complete, sound, and whole in every area of your life. He wants you to live in peace and safety and to experience health and prosperity. As you enter into this covenant relationship with Adonai, you will find quiet, tranquility, and contentment. You will never totter and shake, for the Lord your God will always uphold you with His strength.

Jehovah has said that He loves you deeply and with tender affection. You can trust His words, for they are true. He has promised to have mercy and compassion on you and that is what you will find when you approach His throne.
