Equipped to be Unshakeable

CONSIDER THIS

Karl Elsener, an owner of a Swiss company that made surgical equipment, worked for years on perfecting a military knife. Today his Swiss Army Knife includes everything you can imagine and then some. Stuff like: knife blades, a saw, scissors, a magnifying glass, a tin opener, a screwdriver, a ruler, a toothpick, a writing pen, well, you get the picture— all in one knife! This can certainly make you feel equipped to be a MacGyver wherever you go.

The writer to the Hebrews finishes up his book with final instructions, encouraging words and a blessing, all to equip his readers — that includes us — to be unshakeable. God is the One who shows us His will and equips us to carry it out. He never gives us a task without also giving us the power to accomplish it. When God sends us out, He sends us equipped with everything we need.

God uses His Word, His leaders, other believers, and even difficult times to refine, restore, equip and prepare us!

The writer has spent 13 powerful chapters laying out the supremacy of Christ, making it perfectly clear that Christ is greater than everything so that His readers would be empowered and encouraged to remain in the faith. Now he says: Apply these words in your life. Take them to heart. Live them. Then you will be unshakeable.
