Not alone

See to it that you do not refuse Him who is speaking For if those did not escape when they refused him who warned them on earth, much less will we escape who turn away from Him who warns from heaven.
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."

This expression, "Yet once more," denotes the removing of those things which can be shaken, as of created things, so 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 12:25 - 29

Scientists say the earthquake in Concepcion Chile was so powerful that it caused the earth to shift slightly on it's axis.

We tend to trust the created things around us more than we probably should: money, technology, doctors, etc. It's fairly common to trust those things and arguably just as common to have our trust in them shaken. But the earth... shouldn't that always be secure? 3 minutes of solid ground behaving more like a liquid would be an extremely frightening experience.

Scripture says heaven as well as the earth will be shaken. Having that knowledge doesn't make it any less frightening. In fact it makes me a bit apprehensive to even think about it, but it gives me hope that what can't be shaken... won't be.

O LORD, my heart is not proud, nor my eyes haughty;
Nor do I involve myself in great matters,
Or in things too difficult for me.
Surely I have composed and quieted my soul;
Like a weaned child rests against his mother,
My soul is like a weaned child within me.
O Israel, hope in the LORD
From this time forth and forever. - Psalm 131

No matter what happens in this world our spiritual lives are secure. Everything might fall down all around us, and if we fall down in this world its comforting to know that there will be Someone to catch us in the next.

This reminds me of one of my favourite quotes from the movie Signs:

"People break down into two groups. When they experience something lucky, group number one sees it as more than luck, more than coincidence. They see it as a sign, evidence, that there is someone up there, watching out for them.

Group number two sees it as just pure luck. Just a happy turn of chance. I'm sure the people in group number two are looking at those fourteen lights in a very suspicious way. For them, the situation is a fifty-fifty. Could be bad, could be good. But deep down, they feel that whatever happens, they're on their own. And that fills them with fear. Yeah, there are those people.

But there's a whole lot of people in group number one. When they see those fourteen lights, they're looking at a miracle. And deep down, they feel that whatever's going to happen, there will be someone there to help them. And that fills them with hope. See what you have to ask yourself is what kind of person are you? Are you the kind that sees signs, that sees miracles? Or do you believe that people just get lucky?

Or, look at the question this way: Is it possible that there are no coincidences?"
