Ezekiel 28 & 29, Hebrews 12: 14-29, Proverbs 15: 31-33, Proverbs 16: 1-7
Hebrews 12: 28-29 (ESV)
“Therefore let us be grateful for receiving a kingdom that
cannot be shaken, and thus let us offer to God acceptable worship, with
reverence and awe, for our God is a consuming fire.”
In verses 28 and 29 from Hebrews 12 the writer of Hebrews
tells us that we need to be grateful that we have faith in the kingdom of God
that is unshakeable. We live in an unstable world, but the kingdom of God is stable
and will last forever. As people of faith we need to offer God gratitude and
our reverence for his mercy. We also need to be in awe of all the things that
God has done and will do in our world. We also need to be awe of God’s ability
to consume sin like a fire in the world. God will burn the judgements of our
sins because of our faith in his son Jesus Christ. But for those without faith,
God will seem like a consuming fire when his judgement comes upon them.
What I like about these verses is I know my faith in Jesus Christ is like a rock in what can sometimes feel like a chaotic and unstable world. God's love for me is unchanging, and stable like his kingdom. When it sometimes feels like everything is crumbling around me, I know I can look back at how God has been faithful in my life. These memories and my faith give me a rock to cling to so I can feel stable in the churning waters of my life.
