In a world filled with uncertainty—wars, disasters, and shifting powers—God promises a kingdom that cannot be shaken. Everything we know and depend on may be stripped away, but God’s eternal kingdom stands firm. When we feel unstable or anxious about the future, we are invited to anchor our hope in what is truly unshakable: God’s reign and His promises. Let us be thankful and worship Him with awe, knowing that His kingdom is the only foundation that will last. [23:57]
Hebrews 12:25-29 (ESV)
See that you do not refuse him who is speaking. For if they did not escape when they refused him who warned them on earth, much less will we escape if we reject him who warns from heaven. At that time his voice shook the earth, but now he has promised, “Yet once more I will shake not only the earth but also the heavens.” This phrase, “Yet once more,” indicates the removal of things that are shaken—that is, things that have been made—in order that the things that cannot be shaken may remain. 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.
Reflection: What is one area of your life that feels unstable right now, and how can you intentionally place your trust in God’s unshakable kingdom today?
God gave clear commandments to guide us in living well—not just as rules, but as a foundation for healthy relationships with Him and with others. These commandments call us to honor God, respect our parents, and live in peace with our neighbors, avoiding envy, dishonesty, and harm. In a world where morals can seem to shift and erode, God’s standards remain a sure guide for building a life and community that reflect His heart. [38:14]
Exodus 20:2-17 (ESV)
“I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery. You shall have no other gods before me. You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. You shall not bow down to them or serve them, for I the Lord your God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and the fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing steadfast love to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments. You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes his name in vain. Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor, and do all your work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the Lord your God. On it you shall not do any work, you, or your son, or your daughter, your male servant, or your female servant, or your livestock, or the sojourner who is within your gates. For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested on the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy. Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long in the land that the Lord your God is giving you. You shall not murder. You shall not commit adultery. You shall not steal. You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor. You shall not covet your neighbor’s house; you shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, or his male servant, or his female servant, or his ox, or his donkey, or anything that is your neighbor’s.”
Reflection: Which of God’s commandments do you find most challenging to live out right now, and what is one practical step you can take today to honor God’s moral foundation in your life?
Even when we fail and fall short, God reveals Himself as compassionate and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in love. His mercy is like the sheltering, nurturing love of a mother’s womb—a place of protection and growth. God knows our weaknesses and does not turn away from us; instead, He offers forgiveness and steadfast love, inviting us to return to Him no matter how far we have wandered. [45:11]
Exodus 34:6-7 (ESV)
The Lord passed before him and proclaimed, “The Lord, the Lord, a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness, keeping steadfast love for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, but who will by no means clear the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children and the children’s children, to the third and the fourth generation.”
Reflection: Is there an area of your life where you need to receive God’s compassion and forgiveness today? How can you open your heart to His mercy right now?
In a world where everything changes, Jesus Christ remains the same yesterday, today, and forever. He promises never to leave or forsake us, and we are called to be content, free from the love of money, and confident in His help. When we face fear or uncertainty, we can remember that Jesus is our constant companion and helper, and His faithfulness is the foundation for our courage and peace. [49:35]
Hebrews 13:5-8 (ESV)
Keep your life free from love of money, and be content with what you have, for he has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” So we can confidently say, “The Lord is my helper; I will not fear; what can man do to me?” Remember your leaders, those who spoke to you the word of God. Consider the outcome of their way of life, and imitate their faith. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.
Reflection: Where do you most need to remember that Jesus is with you and unchanging? What is one way you can rely on His help instead of your own strength today?
God is all-powerful, all-knowing, and ever-present—He reigns over all creation and sees every detail of our lives. Yet, when life gets chaotic, we often struggle to trust Him fully. Developing a deeper sense of God’s greatness and presence can transform our fears into faith and our anxieties into peace. Let us seek to feel His support surrounding us at all times, knowing that He is truly with us, no matter what we face. [54:49]
Psalm 139:7-10 (ESV)
Where shall I go from your Spirit? Or where shall I flee from your presence? If I ascend to heaven, you are there! If I make my bed in Sheol, you are there! If I take the wings of the morning and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, even there your hand shall lead me, and your right hand shall hold me.
Reflection: In what situation this week do you need to remember that God is all-powerful, all-knowing, and always with you? How can you remind yourself of His presence in that moment?
From the very beginning, the truth that Jesus is King resounds across every nation and every heart. No matter where we are—from Japan to New Zealand, from Queensland to Greenland—Jesus reigns as King, and His kingdom is unshakable. In a world that feels increasingly unstable, with wars, poverty, natural disasters, and uncertainty about the future, it is vital to remember that God’s kingdom stands firm when everything else is shaken. The invitation is to anchor our lives not in the shifting sands of this world, but in the eternal, unchanging reality of God’s reign.
The passage from Hebrews 12 reminds us that God will shake not only the earth but the heavens, so that only what cannot be shaken will remain. This is a call to examine what we are building our lives upon. Are we investing in things that are temporary and fragile, or are we rooted in the unshakable kingdom of God? The world offers many false securities—technology, wealth, power—but these are not lasting. Only God, who is the same yesterday, today, and forever, provides a foundation that endures.
God’s moral and spiritual guidelines, given through the Ten Commandments, are not just ancient rules but living principles for a stable and flourishing life. They are about relationships—first with God, then with others. When we honor God, respect our parents, and live at peace with our neighbors, we reflect the heart of God’s kingdom. Even when we fail, God’s compassion and mercy are like a mother’s womb—nourishing, protecting, and forgiving. Jesus, who experienced human life in all its frailty, stands as our mediator, understanding our struggles and offering us grace.
In the midst of chaos, we are called to a faith that is not confined to church walls but transforms every aspect of our lives—our homes, our work, our relationships, and our communities. The challenge is to trust in God’s omnipotence, omniscience, and omnipresence, especially when life feels uncertain. As we do, we discover that faith, hope, and love remain, and that the greatest of these is love. God’s unshakable kingdom is not just a future hope but a present reality, growing in and through us as we live out His love in the world.
