GLORIOUS SURPRISES

ISAIAH 59:19 (ABP)
On that day, the people of the Western world will come to respect the name of GOD. And in the East, he will be honored.

LUKE 13:29-30 (NLT)
And people will come from all over the world—from east and west, north and south—to take their places in the Kingdom of God. And note this: Some who seem least important now will be the greatest then, and some who are the greatest now will be least important then.

SUMMARY SENTENCE
When God brings the world together, everyone will honor him in a movement led by some of the least likely.

PRAYER
Glorious God, I'm eager for the day when everyone will honor you for who you are and what you're about. I admit that I've got some strong ideas about what that will look like and who will be leading your parade. Start now massaging my expectations so that my ideas more accurately align with your reality. I'm going to enjoy the glorious surprises you have in store for the world. 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.
