“…In order that the that those things which cannot be shaken may remain.”— Hebrews 12:27
We have many things in our possession at the present moment which can be shaken, and it is not good for a Christian to rely upon them, for there is nothing stable beneath these rolling skies; change is written upon all things.
Yet, we have certain “things which cannot be shaken,” and I invite you this evening to think of them, that if the things which can be shaken should all be taken away, you may derive real comfort from the things that cannot be shaken, which will remain.
Whatever your losses have been, or maybe, you enjoy present salvation. You are standing at the foot of Christ’s cross, trusting alone in the merit of Jesus’ precious blood, and no rise or fall of the markets can interfere with your salvation in him; no breaking of banks, no failures and bankruptcies can touch that.
Then you are a child of God this evening. God is your Father. No change of circumstances can ever rob you of that.
Although by losses brought to poverty, and stripped bare, you can say, “He is my Father still. In my Father’s house are many mansions; therefore will I not be troubled.” You have another permanent blessing, namely, the love of Jesus Christ.
He who is God and Man loves you with all the strength of his affectionate nature—nothing can affect that. The fig tree may not blossom, and the flocks may cease from the field, it matters not to the man who can sing, “My Beloved is mine, and I am his.”
Our best portion and richest heritage we cannot lose. Whatever troubles come, let us play the man; let us show that we are not such little children as to be cast down by what may happen in this poor fleeting state of time.
Our country is Immanuel’s land, our hope is above the sky, and therefore, calm as the summer’s ocean; we will see the wreck of everything earthborn, and yet rejoice in the God of our salvation.
Charles Spurgeon
I love listening to this version of the Humble King by Sounds Like Reign
Humble King
Oh, kneel me down again here at Your feet
Show me how much You love humility
Oh Spirit, be the star that leads me to
The humble heart of love I see in You
‘Cause You are the God of the broken
The friend of the weak
You wash the feet of the weary
Embrace the ones in need
I want to be like You, Jesus
To have this heart in me
You are the God of the humble
You are the humble King
Oh, kneel me down again here at Your feet
Show me how much You love humility
Oh Spirit, be the star that leads me to
The humble heart of love I see in You
‘Cause You are the God of the broken
The friend of the weak
You wash the feet of the weary
Embrace the ones in need
I want to be like You, Jesus
To have this heart in me
You are the God of the humble
You are the humble King
Beautiful God, wonderful Savior
I want to be like You, Jesus
To have this heart in me
I want to be like You, Jesus
To have this heart in me
I want to be like You, Jesus
To have this heart in me
You are the God of the humble
You are the humble King
Have a wonderful weekend.
