Unshakeable service for an unshakeable kingdom

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. – Hebrews 12v28

It doesn’t take long when we look around to notice the shakeableness of everything around us. Things are changing faster than we could have imagined. Long lasting banking institutions are failing. US auto manufacturers are in serious trouble. The once almighty dollar is on a roller coaster ride and the pound is not longer as sound as a pound.

There is one thing in the life of the believer that we know is not shakeable. We have received a kingdom which cannot be shaken. Because our eternal kingdom cannot be shaken we have a motivation to, by the grace of God, serve Him in an acceptable manner with all reverence and godly fear.

Why is it that we seem to have more time for our shakeable kingdoms than the unshakeable ones?
