“So see to it that you obey Him who is speaking to you. For if the people of Israel did not escape when they refused to listen to Moses, the earthly messenger, how terrible our danger if we refuse to listen to God who speaks to us from Heaven! When He spoke from Mount Sinai His voice shook the earth, but, “Next time,” He says, “I will not only shake the earth but the Heavens too.” By this He means that He will sift out everything without solid foundations so that only unshakable things will be left.
Since we have a Kingdom nothing can destroy, let us please God by serving Him with thankful hearts and with holy fear and awe. For our God is a consuming fire.”
– Hebrews 12:25-29 (TLB)
God’s sent His one and only Son to be nailed to a tree for each one of us. The only perfect and pure sacrifice that could ever atone for the sin of humanity, proved His great love when He willingly endured the pain of the cross. He has given us the opportunity to receive His grace for an unshakable Kingdom – a Kingdom that will stand beyond the test of time and fire.
No matter what the future holds, we can remain confident in the One who holds the future. Our hope stands on the firm foundation of Jesus Christ and His love for us. “We are reborn into a perfect inheritance that can never perish, never be defined, and never diminish. It is promised and preserved forever in the Heavenly realm for you!” (ref. 1Peter 1:4)
Now that is something worth celebrating and praising Him for!
By accepting God’s grace, we get to serve Him with hearts full of thanksgiving and reverence, offering ourselves to Him as living sacrifices. Not out of obligation, but with gratitude and a posture of holy fear and honour.
May we be women who offer Him the purest worship with our lives - something that truly delights His heart. As we offer up each day to Him, filled with awe and absolute surrender to our awesome and powerful God.
