This verse came to me at a
very needed time last week. I was fed up. I had had enough. I had enough of
Covid and missing church and the responses to Covid and politics here and in
the States and frustration and a lot of other things. I told Mary that I simply
has enough and I felt like doing nothing – I even didn’t feel like doing
anything spiritual.
All I could do about it
though was to seek an answer in God’s word. And here. Surely directed by the
Holy Spirit came just the verse I needed.
Therefore, we are receiving
a kingdom which cannot be shaken. Everything else may be shaken and falling to
pieces but our kingdom is unshakable.
Along with an unshakable
kingdom we have the joy and God’s unending grace. The amazing grace that saves
us also allows us to serve. It is by His grace alone that we have this
unshakable kingdom. Now we have the right focus. Now we can stay in the race.
Now we can serve His with an awe of His power and walking in the fear of the
Lord. God is a consuming fire. One day He patience will yield to His holiness
and His judgement. While we enter the unshakable kingdom, the world enters into
judgement.
What more motivation could
we have than to know that what we are doing is of eternal import while
everything else is failing?
