Have you ever gone through a season in your life where you feel like everything is unstable or shaky? You may feel like a dried up leaf, in late November, that is about to be blown away by the chilling winds of stress. You may be in this season right now. You might think if one more wave of bad news heads your way, that you may crash. I think we have all gone through this stage of life. Some of you may feel like this has not been a stage of your life, but an ongoing process called "my life." When our life becomes shaky and we feel like things are slipping out of control, we tend to start going, "Uh hello, God? Where are you?" Friend, he is with you. These test and trials that seem to shake you to the core are producing in you a fruit of strength that will only be bore from certain circumstances.
I am not going to try to sit here and sprinkle fairy dust over all your problems, but I am going to tell you about a beautiful truth that I found in Hebrews 12 verse 28. I don't know if you realize this or not, but if you are a Child of God, you are a part of a kingdom. This is the Kingdom of Heaven! We are sons and daughters of the King in the Kingdom! If that doesn't make you want to shout, I don't know what will! Oh yea, and this kingdom? It's unshakable. Remember those shaky circumstances we were thinking about? Those will all fade away when Jesus comes back to take us home. We are "receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken." The King of this unshakeable kingdom deserves all our worship with reverence and awe. This King, our King, is a consuming fire. Let the King consume your shaky situations with his all-powerful flame.
Therefore let us be grateful for receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, and thus let us offer to God acceptable worship, with reverence and awe, for our God is a consuming fire. Hebrews 12:28-29
Stand firm, Child of God. We are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken.
Love,
Hannah
