TRANSGLOBAL

ZACHARIAH 2:11 (ABP)
Indeed, on that great day of rescue, many of the previously God-ignoring nations will turn and hook up with GOD. They will also be my people and I'll live together with them, too.

REVELATION 2:9 (CEV)
After this, I saw a large crowd with more people than could be counted. They were from every race, tribe, nation, and language, and they stood before the throne and before the Lamb.

SUMMARY SENTENCE
God's plan is to establish a transglobal family to share in his presence.

PRAYER
Glorious God, you think big -- bigger than any of us can fathom. And you want to include people from all tribes, nations, and languages. Forgive us for our xenophobia and the ways in which we foster fear of those who are different. Energize us to get on board with what you are doing as you drive history toward that great and glorious day. In preparation, I'm going to look for ways to make connections with those who are from other places and cultures. 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.
