🥺For Which Reason🤗

 I know everything happens for a reason. But something’s I wish I knew what that reason was.

Hebrews 12:28 (KJV) Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear:

There’s that word again “Wherefore” This chapter started off with this word “Wherefore”

Hebrews 12:1 (KJV) Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,

Wherefore look back at those who were before you. Then about half way through chapter 12 we read again about “Wherefore”

Hebrews 12:12 (KJV) Wherefore lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees;

This time it’s about not getting weary. Remember what the word “Wherefore” means “For which reason” So we look back to see for what reason.

Opposition: There’s going to be opposition in our lives. We are given an example of Jesus who faced great opposition. Hebrews 12:3 (KJV) For consider him{Jesus}that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds. Don't become tired and don’t give up because of the opposition that comes your way. Ok so you messed up, you know what you are not alone we all mess up. We mess up on our jobs, we mess up with those we love. Remember when we were children? Did we not all mess up, get caught? What were the results? Some type of punishment; did that punishment remove us from the family? Were we kicked out on the streets? No! The punishment was for our benefit. I have said many times I am glad for the punishmen I received. Noticed I didn’t say I enjoyed them but was glad for them. Why? Because without them I would have never learned; remove the consequences for my wrong actions and the wrong actions become part of my life. So our Heavenly Father does the same He 

Hebrews 12:6 (KJV) For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth. Not only is punishment a part of being in a family it also is a part of family position.

Hebrews 12:7 (KJV) If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not? If I wasn’t disciplined then I might not have been part of the family. Now as I stated earlier as this chapter comes to a close we see that word “Wherefore” again  Hebrews 12:28 (KJV) Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear: Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved. There it is the kingdom that can’t be shaken. How did we get that kingdom that could not be shaken? Grace God’s Riches at Christ Expensive and all you and I did was receive. Yep, recipients of God’s goodness to mankind. When we understand that we will more than gladly server our Heavenly Father.
