Today's encouragement comes from Acts 2:25, where we read these words that made up part of Peter’s Pentecost sermon:
“For David says concerning him [Jesus], ‘I saw the Lord before me, for he is at my right hand that I may not be shaken . . . ’ " (ESV)King David was a great believer in the Lord Jesus Christ. As a prophet, God revealed Jesus to him [David]; and, as a result, David was unafraid, unshaken, and unmovable. David knew that this Jesus was the Man who would sit on the throne of the true Israel, God’s redeemed church.
By the power of the Holy Spirit who regenerates the authentic saints, we who are in Christ today may possess the same comfort and confidence that David had. In Jesus we are never “shaken."
