The earth grew afraid and fell silent
when God rose up to establish justice,
when God rose up to save all of the earth’s poor.
MARK 13:10 (ABP)
Before these turmultuous times, the message of the kingdom will go public to the world beyond.
THE ESSENCE
Jesus' kingdom message transcends cultural, political, and geographical borders.
DAILY FODDER
How do you fit into Jesus' mission to take his good news to the entire world? Is he calling you to go to some unfamiliar people?
PRAYER
Praise be to you, God of the whole world. Forgive us for our tendency to focus on local products and people, sending the message that they are the only things that really count. Help me to embrace your global heart and mission. I want to be a part of what you're doing out there. Amen.
Our Father in Heaven,
we hold your name in the highest regard.
Please come and establish your reign here on earth
so that everything that happens here will align
with what is happening in heaven.
and we’ll forgive those who have wronged us.
Shield us from the trials and temptations that come our way.
Lastly, we pray that you will protect us from all forms of evil. Amen.
