Thoughts For Today

Isaiah 9:6-7 prophesies the reign of heavenly and earthly Kingdoms through the birth of the promised Messiah: “For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given; and the government will be upon His shoulder, and His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, and Prince of Peace. Of the increase of His government and peace there will be no end, upon the throne of David and over His Kingdom, to order it and establish it with judgment and justice from that time forward, even forever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this.” Our confidence in Jesus can be sure that there will be only increase of His government and peace. Haggai 2:4-7 states, “Yet now be strong…be strong…be strong, all you people of the land, says the Lord, and work; for I am with you, says the Lord of Hosts. According to the word that I covenanted with you when you came out of Egypt, so My Spirit remains among you; do not fear. For thus says the Lord of hosts: Once more (it is a little while) I will shake heaven and earth, the sea and dry land; and I will shake all nations, and they shall come to the Desire of All Nations, and I will fill this temple with glory, says the Lord of hosts.” Haggai prophesies that we will be filled with the Spirit of God to keep us strong. Paul then confirms this word in Hebrews 12:26-29. “…Now He has promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not only the earth, but also heaven.” 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. Therefore, since we are receiving a Kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us have grace, by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear. For our God is a consuming fire.
