Hebrews 12:28
Therefore,
since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be
thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe.
Holy and Awesome God-
Your
beauty and majesty are astonishing! You are seated on a radiant throne
high above the earth. Your glory twinkles brilliantly like the bright
Morning Star. I am in awe of You!
The
city of the Living God is my heavenly home and highest hope. Arriving
at this promised destination, I anticipate the jubilant celebration as
thousands and thousands of adoring angels surround You in wonderful
worship. Overwhelming joy will fill my heart as my name is read from the
Lamb's Book of Life. With holy fear, I'll approach the throne of grace
hand-in-hand with my Best Friend, Jesus who will present me to You as
pure and innocent. Compassionately, You'll welcome me with arms wide
open because of my relationship with Your Son. The keys to heaven will
be given to me! It's a gift too great to grasp!
Thank
You for the privilege and honor of knowing You deeply, intimately, and
personally. Your unshakable kingdom is accessible to me. When the world
around me is shaken by increased violence, great earthquakes, widespread
starvation, and deadly diseases, I will stand firm in Your mighty
power. Believing the Truth, tragedy will not terrorize me. Instead, with
my gaze on Glory Land, I'll have unbelievable confidence to confess
with my mouth the wonders of Your love, giving thanks to You the Living
God whose kingdom is mine forever and ever because of Jesus. Hallelujah!
Amen.
If
you have accepted Christ as your Savior, the unshakable kingdom of the
Living God is yours. The Bible clearly warns that as we get closer to
His Kingdom and Christ's return, there will be an increase in tragedy
and trouble in the world. However, because we are receiving a glorious
everlasting kingdom that can never be shaken, we should be thankful, and
not terrorized. Instead we should look forward with hope. Keeping a
positive attitude in the face of danger and disaster will be an awesome
act of worship acceptable to the King.
As
I recently read Luke 21:5-18 I found myself wondering how many in the
church are ready for the calamities and catastrophic events that are
about to happen? They are coming, and I believe they are coming fast.
Are we ready to defend our faith and give thanks to God in the midst of
adversity as a reverent act of worship? He is not the director of the
horror show, Satan is. Will I stand firm when my faith is tested by
frightening events? Will you?
