Can Not Be Shaken

| Mar 03, 2024

"And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain. Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear:" Hebrews 12:27-28

The map of the world is different today than it was when I was growing up. Some countries have changed their names. The country once named Rhodesia is now Zimbabwe. Other countries have split apart. What was Yugoslavia is six separate countries following a bitter and brutal war. What once was Czechoslovakia divided into the Czech Republic and Slovakia. And the pages of history are filled with stories of what once were great empires that spread over vast territories but no longer exist.

Nothing human is guaranteed to last. Anything that we rely on apart from God can vanish in a moment. He alone is eternal and unchanging. He alone can never be shaken. Those who depend on God will never be let down or disappointed. Those who depend on Him can stand any test that comes. “Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah” (Psalm 46:2-3).

In places that are prone to volcano the buildings there are built to a strict code to ensure they can survive. Great care and attention is placed on the design and construction of foundations as a result. In God, every Christian has a firm foundation. As long as our lives are built on Him we will not fall. God is the only unshakable foundation on which we can build our lives with complete confidence.

PRAYER

Oh Lord help me to build my life on the sure foundation of Your Word
