The Kingdom of God
Scripture:
42 The next morning, Jesus sneaks away. He finds a place away from the crowds, but soon they find Him. The crowd tries their best to keep Him from leaving. Jesus: 43 “No, I cannot stay. I need to preach the kingdom of God to other cities too. This is the purpose I was sent to fulfill.” 44 So He proceeds from synagogue to synagogue across Judea, preaching His message of the Kingdom of God. (Luke 4:42-44 The Voice)
What is the Kingdom of God for us today? I’ve always felt for me, it the place where I allow God to rule in my life. The Kingdom of God is for the here and now, and not just for far off heaven. It is God’s will being done, it is life as God desires it, it is life that is full, a life of peace, a life of love, and so much more. Jesus said that the Kingdom of God was the purpose He came to fulfill.
Lord, I truly want Your rule in my life. I want to live today, and every day, in the Kingdom of God, and with all that it has for me. Thank You that You have made that possible for me. AMEN
Father, as I daily pray to You, I know that You will answer, that You will bend down and listen. You show me unfailing in wonderful ways. Psalm 17
