“Since we are receiving a Kingdom that is unshakable, let us be thankful and please God by worshiping him in holy fear and awe. For our God is a devouring fire.” Hebrews 12:28-29
The meaning of a devouring fire means just what it says. It is a fire that utterly consumes or destroys. We are told in Hebrews that God’s Kingdom is unshakable. There is nothing anywhere or at any time that can shake his Kingdom. You and I are to be thankful for his mighty power and all of his truthfulness. We are to worship him in holy fear and awe. We are to give his word and his presence our full attention. To fear him is to obey him. God has provided us with his Holy Spirit that lives in us. We are to listen to him and become determined to carry out his will, no matter the cost. We must understand that we live in a time of grace. Our Lord God in heaven in still willing to forgive us and forget our sins. However, it is also understood that the time of grace is short lived, and he will return and devour and burn all evil, all that is not holy. Our God will only put up with so much. We must remember that he is coming soon and when he does, he will lash out at the evil that surrounds us. Our God is a loving God. He wants us all to be present at his supper table. But we must love him without conditions. We must give up self and think only of Him! PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
