For we trust in our God And through His unfailing love We will not be shaken We will not be shaken We will not be shaken Though the battle rages We'll stand in the fight Though the armies rise up against us on all sides We will not be shaken We will not be shaken We will not be shaken... This song by Bethel music is really provocative! It takes courage to sing this song out of a strong conviction, trusting that God's love is able to keep and guide us even in the midst of personal and national crisis. We have not been called to face down but ladened with treasures to give hope.  For we know that nothing can separate us from the love of Christ. It's awesome how I got the inspiration to write ✍️ even in the middle of the storms I faced in the course of the week, though discomforting but purpose propelled me to do this. For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. Ephesians 2: 10 Introspectively, God...

Little did I know that my first assignment would be conducted en route.
