Hebrews 12:14-15 Pursue peace with all people and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord! Looking carefully lest anyone fall short of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up cause trouble, and by this may become defiled;
Hebrews 12:27-29 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 remain.
Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom which 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.
What is God trying to shake and remove from our lives? We can allow the Lord to root out those things that are not pleasing to Him and be at peace with Him and others. We need His holiness to be able to see Him! After the Lord has shaken us, the things pleasing Him remain.
Seeking peace and holiness with all people will keep us from bitterness. As we work out our salvation with fear and trembling, let us love one another with the love of God. We have been called to edify each other and build each other up. Ladies, let's pray for one another, lift up the weak person's feeble hands, and encourage those around us.
