Western culture is in the midst of a great shakeup.
At all levels of society.
And it’s affecting every institution and aspect of life.
With this time of shaking has come a period of sifting.
When individuals, families and churches must make their foundation sure.
And that foundation upon which we must continue to stand and build is…
The reality of God and the reliability of His Word.
Being sifted… while everything you thought secure around you is being shaken… is hard.
And it brings us face to face with serious tests — involving change and the taking away of what we once trusted.
But there are some things to remember when you’re being sifted…
Like…
God is the one doing the shaking, for His own good purposes (Hag. 2:7)…
He has established His throne in the heavens and His sovereignty rules over everything (Ps. 103:19)…
And, though God may remove that which can be shaken, He is also bringing about an unshakeable kingdom (Heb. 12:27-28).
So do not fear.
Make seeking His kingdom and His righteousness your top priority…
… and He will take care of what concerns you (Mt. 6:33).
