COMING

Ascension Day

ZEPHANIAH 3:19 (CEB)
I will deliver the lame;
I will gather the outcast.
I will change their shame into praise and fame throughout the earth.

ACTS 1:6-8 (CEB)
Those who had gathered together asked Jesus, “Lord, are you going to restore the kingdom to Israel now?”

Jesus replied, “It isn’t for you to know the times or seasons that the Father has set by his own authority. Rather, you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”

SUMMARY SENTENCE
There is more to come.

PRAYER
God of the future, I am filled with gratitude when I see ways that your kingdom is being restored. Other times I get impatient for your promises to be fulfilled. But my timing is not your timing. Fill me with your Holy Spirit. Infuse me with the faith to be your witness, proclaiming your kingdom come. Amen. (Daily Texts, Ground Up Grace edition)
