Shaken

Isaiah 22-24; Hebrews 12 

“See, the Lord is going to lay waste the earth and devastate it;…From the ends of the earth we hear singing: ‘Glory to the Righteous One.’…The earth is broken up, the earth is split asunder, the earth is thoroughly shaken…”

Isaiah 24:1, 16, 19

“…’Once more I will shake not only the earth but also the heavens.’…Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe, for our God is a consuming fire.”

Hebrews 12:26, 28, 29

The promise of God is to thoroughly shake the heavens and the earth. However, rather than cower in fear like the kings of the earth, the people of God worship the Righteous One with reverence and awe. We have a kingdom that cannot be shaken; this world is not our home.

Have we thoroughly turned our allegiance and hope to Christ’s kingdom, or will we, too, be disappointed when all we have is shaken on earth?

Whose kingdom do we serve, and what values and vision for life define us?

The time to choose is now, not in the middle of being shaken.

“Lord Jesus, your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.”
