Everyone will agree
"From dawn until dusk my name is praised by every nation on this earth," says the Lord. ~ Malachi 1:11a (CEV)
And to the glory
of God the Father
everyone will openly agree,
“Jesus Christ is Lord!” ~ Philippians 2:11 (CEV)
KEY IDEA:
Eventually, everyone will honor God with their agreement that "Jesus is Lord."
PRAYER:
Gracious God, you deserve all honor and recognition. Forgive me for looking for ways to enhance my reputation. Help me to keep the honor of Jesus as the first thing in my life. I'm eager to participate in your mission of inviting the whole world to join your plan. Amen.
