Protected during shaking
Charles SpurgeonSUMMARY:
God's people are currently being shaken and tested, like grain in a sieve, by various forces including disbelief, the world, and the apostate church. However, through this process, the chaff is being separated from the wheat and all that is good, true, and precious will be preserved. No believer, no matter how small, will be lost and everything gained in Jesus Christ. This message is from The Bank of Faith Checkbook, translated by Allan Roman.The shaking process is still going on. Wherever we go, we are still being thrown and shaken. In all countries God's people are being tested "as grain is sifted in a sieve." Sometimes the demon holds the sieve, and tosses up and down at great speed, with a burning desire to get rid of us forever. Disbelief does not delay in shaking our hearts and minds with their haunting fears. The world reaches out a willing hand to the same process, and shakes us left and right with great vigor. Worst of all, the church, mostly apostate, is coming to apply more furious force to the shaking process.
Good, good! Let me continue. In this way the chaff is separated from the wheat. Thus the wheat is free from dust and chaff. And how great is the mercy that comes to us in the text: "and not a grain falls on the ground." All that is good, true, and precious will be preserved. Not a single one of the smallest believers will be lost, nor will any believer lose something that can be called a loss. We will be so protected during the shaking that it will become real gain for us through Jesus Christ.
