I thought a fund of laddered bonds was a pretty foolproof method to an unshakable retirement. I knew it was not totally assured, only God and his kingdom is unshakable (12:28). Still I thought I had done the best I could to make a secure retirement plan for DW and I. I was wrong. It did not work out so well. It was better than some plans. But still it was very shakable.
Hebrews 13:1-8: The author switches gears now. He gives some practical and also challenging encouragement. Show hospitality, help prisoners, remember they are people too, hold marriage in high regard, do not put your trust in money, respect your leaders. He ends this section by returning to the unshakable quality of our God.
“Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and yes, forever.” This passage (13:8) is a common memory verse. We often use it as a mantra. Of course it is true. It is a wonderful way of restating the unshakableness of our God.
God’s kingdom cannot be shaken. God cannot be shaken either but that does not mean he cannot feel, or change his mind, or regret. Our God is a passionate God and he is involved.
