Shaken But Not Destroyed

The Lord has been and continues to be merciful to me. He has allowed me to see the truth. I am thankful for his enlightenment and hope to always be able to share what I have learned. I am grateful to history and scripture that can be trusted to speak right things. My walk with God has become deeper and more trusting then I ever imagined. It is life changing and continues to blow me away. Praise God for His mercies!

If I am the clay and He is the potter, does that not say that He makes me into what ever image He would see fit to make me. As I listened and reflected on Sunday, I found myself shaken by the Word. I was shaken by the truth and reality that the world will one day be consumed, one day all that I have achieved will be considered rubbish, and all that I have accumulated will be gone and become worthless ashes. But the good news is that, there is something that will not be shaken: God’s Kingdom!
Grace is not given to all men to believe. That is the truth no matter how hard it sounds to those who do not have ears to hear the truth. God is just, no matter what the outcome of this world we live in. All is done for His good pleasure.  
So, let us be thankful and so worship God. This is our only and right response. Are you facing a crisis in your job where your faith has been shaken? Stand on the Kingdom of God within you and give thanks for the many good years He has given you. Are you facing a crisis at home where you do not know how to discipline your child or how to take care of your sickly parents? Stand on the solid rock which is the church of Jesus Christ, worshiping Him. I have no guarantee that your crisis will be gone, but I can be sure that your perspective about those crises will be changed as you learn to be thankful and worship. Do not be shaken.

Revival Of The Heart

If Christians could do what they were called to do, maybe, just maybe we could have a revival of hearts in this world.
Pray, pray, pray. Spend time with God, in the Word, and most of all, listen to God when He speaks. Show God's love and draw people in with God's love. God can use us to plant seeds, so let's plant those seeds. Our timidness as Christians is sending people to hell. Don't let satan get that foothold in your life.
