Imperturbable.... not shaken or stirred.
The soundtrack:
Let's talk
....
Today's word is
Imperturbable
. (ĭm'pər-tûr'bə-bəl)
The American Heritage Dictionary defines the adjective imperturbable as:
1. Unshakably calm and collected.
This word describes a state of confidence -
not
indifference. This is not about 'what ever will be will be', rather it's about knowing that all things work together for our good - if we are the called of the Lord.
When we realize that our strength comes from the Lord, and not from the things we see and feel, we arrive at a place of confidence in His provision for us. When we have done our best and truly placed our lives in His hand we can say with imperturbable confidence - Let it be!
We learn to not be 'Bi-polar Christians', bouncing off the walls when material blessings come and draped in sack-cloth and ash when faced with trials. We rest assured that God is in control and do as scripture advises:
I Peter 5:6
Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:
7
Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you
.
We'll talk
