Shaken But Not Confused
June 26, 2009
by Ed Eubank Ed and his wife Donna are Ambassador Club membersEarthquakes happen constantly around the globe. In a moment peaceful tranquility can turn into total terror and confusion. The Word of God tells us a lot about this “shaking” in the book of Hebrews 12:26-29.
We all face “earthquakes” at various times in our lives when it seems everything is turned upside down. That’s when fear and confusion attempt to overtake us. The sudden loss of a loved one, uncertainty in finances, shattered dreams and hopes are but a few of the sudden shakings we experience in this life.
But there is good news in the midst of the shaking. Romans 14:17 says God’s kingdom is righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. God’s kingdom cannot be shaken. We have the blessed hope to once again see our loved ones who died in Christ. Also, we have been promised that while not all things are good, they work out for our good in the end. (Romans 8:28)
Since God has given us a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe – for our God is a consuming fire (Hebrews 12:28-29).
Take some time today to share God’s righteousness with others. Remember, it’s the peace makers that are blessed. And maintain your joy in the Holy Spirit. If the devil can’t steal your joy, he can’t keep your goods.
