SWIRLS OF NURTURE

Sometimes I feel like a creator, sometimes I feel like a teacher,  sometimes I feel like a worshipper, 
sometimes I just feel three worlds swirling, colliding, morphing into new worlds . . 
. . . yet with each swirl the need to nurture . . .
. . . nurture midst fragile creations, vulnerable artists, emotive questioning soundscapes, wondering and wandering thoughts, midst a church wondering how to create in the image of the One who created all.

An Unshakeable Kingdom

At that time his voice shook the earth, but now he has promised“Yet once more I will shake not only the earth but also the heavens.” This phrase, “Yet once more,” indicates the removal of things that are shaken—that is, things that have been made—in order that the things that cannot be shaken may remain.  Therefore let us be grateful for receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, and thus let us offer to God acceptable worship, with reverence and awe, for our God is a consuming fire.  Hebrews 12:26-29  

We are experiencing the shaking of the earth but it is nothing new.  History records the ongoing shaking of the earth. According to Hebrews 12 there will be a final shaking that will remove many things, yet some will remain. The letter to the Hebrews was written to encourage Christians in a time of trial.  It does so by focusing on four things that cannot be shaken and will remain for ever.
The first of these is the kingdom of God which also appeared in Nebuchadnezzar’s dream.

And in the days of those kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that shall never be destroyed, nor shall the kingdom be left to another people. It shall break in pieces all these kingdoms and bring them to an end, and it shall stand forever  Daniel 2:44
​

In a time of trial, this should fill us with gratefulness and motivate us to offer to God acceptable worship with reverence and awe.
