Shaken

Pursue peace with all and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord. ~ Hebrews 12:14

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 12:28-29

Have you ever been in an earthquake? I never have, but I can imagine that a major earthquake is one of the most terrifying experiences one could go through. What was once solid and stable is violently shaking under your feet and everything on the surface of the ground could come down.

Even though I have never been through an actual earthquake, I know what it is like when my world is shaken and it feels like everything is falling down around me. It is in those moments that we realize that our foundation isn’t stable. There is only one solid foundation on which to build our life, as the Psalmist writes: As for God, His way is perfect; the word of the Lord is flawless. He is a shield for all who take refuge in Him. For who is God besides the Lord? And who is the Rock except our God? ~ Psalm 18:30-31

Gather with the ROC Flock this Sunday as we pursue holiness in light of our all-consuming God that we may receive a kingdom that can never be shaken. When your world is rocked make sure you plant your feet firmly on the Rock!
