"既放出自己的羊來，就在前頭走，羊也跟著他，因為認得他的聲音。"（約翰福音10:4）。
當時他的聲音震動了地，但如今他應許說：再一次我不單要震動地，還要震動天。
這再一次的話，是指明被震動的，就是受造之物都要挪去，使那不被震動的常存。
所以我們既得了不能震動的國，就當感恩，照神所喜悅的，用虔誠、敬畏的心事奉神。
因為我們的神乃是烈火。
（希伯來書12:26-29）
在上面引用的經文中，我們首先看到主的子民知道祂的聲音，並且因為這個原因，他們跟隨祂。我們也可以從中推斷出，我們能夠跟隨祂的程度是我們知道祂的聲音。然後我們在希伯來書中看到，祂的聲音會震動事物。因此，如果我們要知道祂的聲音，我們也要知道一些震動。
在這樣一個不安全的世界裡，穩定是非常值得期待的。然而，如果我們在真理之上尋求穩定和安全，我們可能會有一段時間的輕鬆，但我們會離主越來越遠。主在哪裡說話，哪裡就在發生震動。如果我們想跟隨祂，我們就需要學習不要在這個世界的事物中尋求安全感，因為當祂說話的時候，這些事物都會震動。我們必須只在不能震動的國度--神的國度中找到我們的安全。
如果我們在這個世界的政府震動時開始震動，這只顯示我們在多大程度上把我們的信心放在可以震動的事物上。如果我們在股市開始震動時開始震動，這顯示我們在多大程度上將我們的信心放在股市而不是主身上。正如希伯來書經文所說的，一切可以震動的都會被震動。這不應該讓我們感到驚訝。那些知道主的聲音並跟隨祂的人應該習慣於這種震動。那麼我們應該如何回應那些被震動的事物呢？
首先，如果我們把自己的生命建立在不能震動的國度上，當我們周圍的事物開始震動時，我們的地面是牢固的，我們就站在堅固的地面上，這樣我們就能把別人從流沙中拉出來。我們不是只為自己得救。主愛所有的人，渴望他們得救。我們必須經常向那些有困難的人伸出援手，以幫助他們。我們所擁有的每一個祝福、恩典和供應，都是為了表明上帝拯救和供應我們的愛。
在《啟示錄》11:15，我們讀到："第七位天使吹號，天上就有大聲音說：世上的國成了我主和主基督的國；他要作王，直到永永遠遠。" 被翻譯為 "成了"的希臘語表示一種轉變。我相信我們政府的某些方面是若建立在國度原則之上的，在每次震動之後都會保留。每當我們的政府、經濟或文化偏離國度原則的部分，最終到來的震動就會更加劇烈，而且具有破壞性。即便如此，那些正確建立的事物將在任何震動中保持不變。
我讚賞並享受我們在過去幾年中的好景氣，但我也努力使我不依賴於它。我注意到，隨著景氣時期的持續，人們開始不太珍惜自己的工作。影響對卓越的委身。經濟衰退可能是我們的經濟在這個時候可能發生的最健康的事情之一，而且我們確實已經預備好了。
在成為一名職業飛行員之前，我做了幾年的木匠。我喜歡這個行業，並有幸與一位老工匠共事，他建造的房子就像米開朗基羅畫的一樣。有一次在經濟衰退期間，我對他說，我擔心許多從事我們這一行的人即將失去工作。他皺著眉頭看著我，回答說："沒有一個真正的木匠在經濟衰退期間失去過工作。真正的木匠總是會有很多工作"。這裡面有一個深刻的道理。如果我們所做的一切是為了主，致力於卓越和誠信，即使在這個搖搖欲墜的世界，我們也會沒事。然而，比這更好的是，如果我們跟隨羔羊，無論祂走到哪裡，我們也會說：
感謝神！常率領我們在基督裡誇勝，並藉著我們在各處顯揚那因認識基督而有的香氣。（哥林多後書2:14）。
想一想。如果我們跟隨祂，我們將永遠知道得勝。我們的得勝將不僅僅是得勝，得勝將彰顯對祂的認識。這就是我們在這裡的理由。
Follow the Shaking

"When he puts forth all his own, he goes before them,
and the sheep follow him because they know his voice" (John 10:4).
And His voice shook the earth then, but now He has promised,
saying, " Yet once more I will shake not only the earth,
but also the heaven." And this expression "Yet once more,"
denotes the removing of those things which can be shaken,
as of created things, in order that those things which cannot be shaken
may remain. Therefore, since we receive a kingdom which cannot be shaken,
let us show gratitude, by which we may offer to God
an acceptable service with reverence and awe;
for our God is a consuming fire(Hebrews 12:26-29).
In the verses quoted above we see first that the Lord's people know His voice, and because of this they follow Him. We might also deduct from this that we will be able to follow Him to the degree that we know His voice. We then see in the text from Hebrews that His voice shakes things. So if we are going to know His voice we are also going to know some shaking.
In such an insecure world, stability is much to be desired. However, if we seek stability and security above the truth, we may have ease for a time, but we will drift further from the Lord. Where the Lord is speaking, shaking is going on. If we want to follow Him we therefore need to learn not to seek security in the things of this world, which will all shake when He speaks. We must find our security only in the kingdom that cannot be shaken—the kingdom of God.
If we start to shake when the governments of this world shake, it only reveals the degree to which we have placed our trust in that which can be shaken. If we start to tremble when the stock market begins to shake, this reveals the degree to which we have placed our trust in the Stock Market instead of in the Lord. As the text in Hebrews reveals, everything that can be shaken will be shaken. This should not surprise us. Those who know the Lord's voice and are following Him should be accustomed to this shaking. How should we then relate to those things that are being shaken?
First, if we have built our lives on the kingdom that cannot be shaken, and our ground is firm when what is around us starts to shake, we are standing on solid ground so that we can pull others out of the quicksand. We were not saved just for ourselves. The Lord loves all men and desires for them to be saved. We must always reach out to those who are having troubles in order to help them. Every blessing, grace, and provision that we have is for the purpose of demonstrating the love of God that saved and provided for us.
In Revelation 11:15 we read, "And the seventh angel sounded; and there arose loud voices in heaven, saying, "The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord, and of His Christ; and He will reign forever and ever." The Greek word that is translated "has become" seems to indicate a transformation. There are aspects of our government that I believe have been founded on kingdom principles, and these will remain after every shaking. Whenever any part of our government, economy, or culture drifts from its moorings to kingdom principles, the shaking that will ultimately come will be more drastic, and destructive. Even so, that which was built properly will remain through any shaking.
I have appreciated and enjoyed the prosperity we have had for the last few years, but I also tried to order my affairs not to depend on it. I have watched that as the time of prosperity has continued, people start appreciating their jobs less. The devotion to excellence has begun to suffer. A recession may be one of the healthiest things that could happen to our economy at this time, and we are indeed primed for it.
Before becoming a professional pilot, I worked for several years as a carpenter. I loved that trade, and was privileged to work with an old craftsman who built houses like Michelangelo painted. Once during a recession I remarked to him that I was concerned that many who were in our trade were about to lose their jobs. He looked at me with a scowl and replied, "No true carpenter has ever lost their job during a recession. A true carpenter will always have plenty of work." There is a profound truth to this. If we are doing everything that we do as unto the Lord, devoted to excellence and integrity, even in this shaky world we will be okay. However, even better than that, if we are following the Lamb wherever He goes, we too will say:
But thanks be to God, who always leads us in His triumph in Christ,
and manifests through us the sweet aroma of the knowledge of Him
in every place (II Corinthians 2:14).
Think about it. If we are following Him we will always know victory. And our victories will not just be triumphs, they will manifest the knowledge of Him. This is why we are here.
