Aren't you glad you know Jesus? These are scary times and getting scarier. If you would have placed your trust in anything or anybody, if you would have been serving foreign gods, whether plastic or flesh and blood, you would be or should be shaking in your boots. But because you have placed your treasure in heaven where moth and rust cannot get at it, and because you have been seeking first the Kingdom of God and its righteousness, you are able to stand on what feels like a Rock while everyone else is trying to balance on sinking sand. (Sounds like quicksand, doesn't it?)
Hebrews 12:25-29
See that you do not refuse Him who speaks. For if they did not escape who refused Him who spoke on earth, much more shall we not escape if we turn away from Him who speaks from heaven, [26] whose voice then shook the earth; but now He has promised, saying, "Yet once more I shake not only the earth, but also heaven." [27] Now this, "Yet once more," indicates the removal of those things that are being shaken, as of things that are made, that the things which cannot be shaken may remain. [28] Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us have grace, by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear. [29] For our God is a consuming fire.
All things temporary go the way of things temporary. Aren't you glad you have your heart set on things and the One that is eternal. Aren't you glad!!!!
