Quote by Charles C. West

We turn to God for help when our foundations are shaking, only to learn that it is God who is shaking them.

We turn to God for help when our foundations are shaking, on

Summary

This quote suggests that in times of crisis or uncertainty, we often seek support and guidance from a higher power, symbolized here as God. However, it challenges the assumption that God is there to provide immediate comfort or bolster our sense of stability. Instead, the quote suggests that God intentionally disrupts or shakes the foundations we rely on to reveal truth, invite growth, and provoke transformation. Thus, when we turn to God for help during difficult times, we may discover that God's purpose is not simply to preserve the status quo, but to foster personal and spiritual development through disruption.
