THE COMING REIGN

 ZECHARIAH 9:10 (CEB)

His rule will stretch from sea to sea,
and from the river to the ends of the earth.


PHILIPPIANS 2:9-10 (CEV)
Then God gave Christ
     the highest place
and honored his name
     above all others.
So at the name of Jesus
     everyone will bow down,
those in heaven, on earth,
     and under the earth.


SUMMARY SENTENCE
Align your life with the coming reign of Christ.

PRAYER
King over kings, Lord over lords, Christ Jesus, thank you for the promise of good things to come when your kingdom is fully established. I confess that I don't always take your promises seriously enough, I've spent my life setting up my own little kingdom over which I am sovereign. And I enjoy being in charge. Help me to let go of all that so that I can focus on realigning everything in my life according to the ways of your coming kingdom. I'm going to make it all about you. Amen.

THE LORD'S PRAYER
Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your Name. Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us. Save us from the time of trial and deliver us from evil. For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours now and forever. Amen.
