Things That Cannot Be Shaken By Billy Graham • September 11 “We are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken.” —Hebrews 12:28, NKJV This date of September 11 will be engraved on the memories of people everywhere for generations to come. On that terrible day when terrorists commandeered several passenger planes and killed thousands of innocent people in New York and Washington D.C., we began to realize the true depths of evil in the human heart, and the uncertainty and fragility of life itself. What lessons would God teach us from such an appalling tragedy? I confess I don’t know the full answer. Many people, I know, for the first time faced the shallowness and emptiness of their lives, and turned to God as a result. Millions came together to pray. But one lesson God would teach us all is this: our only lasting hope is in Him. Life has always been uncertain; September 11 only made it clearer. Where will you turn for your security? Put your life in Christ’s hands, for only He offers us “a kingdom which cannot be shaken.” Hope for Today We live as if tomorrow is a guarantee, but it’s not. What if today was all we had left? Will what we have on the agenda serve to further God’s eternal kingdom, or our own shakable one? | ||
