The Kingdom that Cannot be Shaken

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. [26] 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." [27] 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. [28] 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, [29] for our God is a consuming fire.

“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.”
We have received a kingdom that cannot be shaken, heaven and earth will be shaken, the things of this world will fall away. But the kingdom that we have received in the word of God, through faith, the righteousness and life that he has given us will not fade away. It will remain. We will stand.

I need to remember that when things seem like they're falling apart.
