THE COMING RULE

ZECHARIAH 14:9 (CEV)
Then there will be only one LORD who rules as King and whose name is worshiped everywhere on earth.

REVELATION 22:3-4 (MSG)
Never again will anything be cursed. The Throne of God and of the Lamb is at the center. His servants will offer God service—worshiping, they’ll look on his face, their foreheads mirroring God.

SUMMARY SENTENCE
Put your hope in God because eventually his rule will be recognized universally.

PRAYER

Glorious God, I rejoice that eventually your sovereign rule will be recognized across all borders. It's so easy to get discouraged and to lose hope when there is so much turmoil in the world. Help me to keep my focus ahead so that I reflect your glory onto the current chaos of the world. I'm going to live hopefully because I see what's happening now in light of what's coming. Amen.
