The Unshakable Kingdom

Kieth Green said on one of his live recordings"If it took our Lord Jesus only six days to create heaven and earth and over two thousand years since He left to go and prepare a place for us... Man, this place is a garbage can compared to heaven... ". Wow! What a concept. But you know sometimes we get so accustomed to our wonderful " junkyard " we live in . We get so attatched to this old world and all the things entailing it, we forgot that there is a Kingdom that awaits us. An unshakable Kingdom. One that is alive and well. A Kingdom beyond our fathomization. Sometimes I get so frustrated with work, with church that I miss the whole concept of being " in this world and not of it ". If my citizenship is in this wonderful kingdom, Then the work before me was already accomplished by our King. This Kingdom is advancing, moving forward and has already been established. It has conquered and destroyed the kingdom of hell yet always waging war over souls. As His majesty's servant , I need to be more aware of the Kingdom I am part of look to Him for hope and guidance and strength.

Good job Artie! We need to keep an eternal perspective. Sometime we not only live in the junk, we become comfortable living with the junk. Keep it up.
