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....
