Our Response to a Unshakable Government

Hebrews 12:25 See to it that you do not refuse him who speaks. If they did not escape when they refused him who warned them on earth, how much less will we, if we turn away from him who warns us from heaven? 26At that time his voice shook the earth, but now he has promised, "Once more I will shake not only the earth but also the heavens."[e] 27The words "once more" indicate the removing of what can be shaken—that is, created things—so that what cannot be shaken may remain.28Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe, 29for our "God is a consuming fire."

I am so glad that I am a part of a kingdom, a government, that cannot be shaken. As I see governments, corporations, communities, and kingdoms shaken around the world. It really does cause me to be thankful for the unshakable kingdom of God. In others words, I can count on Him. I can depend on His word, His unchangeable character, His promises, His blessings, etc. In contrast, there's nothing in this world I can trust in. Everything changes, everything is fleeting, everything will pass away...but the word of God.

So God says, "Worship Me with reverence and awe. I am a consuming fire." [paraphrase] I encourage you today to do just that. Because you serve a God who is unshakable and His government is unshakable, worship Him today with a great reverence and awe. He will one day burn up all of our works that are shakeable...or outside His kingdom. Our worship of Him today will last, so lets worship our awesome God today!
