Thursday – Shaken Not Stirred!
Focus Passage: Hebrews 12:27-28
Read: Isaiah 24; Revelation 6:12-17; Revelation 16:17-19
Probably the most well known earthquake of the last decade was last year’s earthquake in the country of Haiti, the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere. On January 12, 2010 a 7.0 catastrophic magnitude earthquake shook the country and the world. But it didn’t stop there, by the 24th, 52 aftershocks measured 4.5 or greater were recorded. An astounding 3 million people were affected…320,000 died.
One day it won’t just be a country, region, or Hemisphere, Scripture makes clear that the earth will be shaken…but Hebrews reveals that your life will also be shaken. In fact one day everything that can be shaken will be shaken (notice the text includes heaven itself). Why? So that only Christ and His kingdom will remain. So what in our lives will be shaken? What will remain?
1. The writer of Hebrews states that the things that will be shaken will be the things “that are made.” Why that description? What are some of things include in that description?
2. How should the fact that the Kingdom of Christ will not be shaken lead us to acceptable worship, with reverence and awe?
3. How do we offer to God worship, reverence and awe? In what ways could you improve your life of worship?
