Your kingdom is an eternal monarchy;
No one will dethrone you—ever.
REVELATION 5:13 (MSG)
Then I heard every creature in Heaven and earth, in underworld and sea, join in, all voices in all places, singing:
To the One on the Throne! To the Lamb!
The blessing, the honor, the glory, the strength,
For age after age after age.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
Pledge your allegiance to Christ the King, for his reign is eternal.
DAILY FODDER
Even the most stable government of today will not be around in a thousand years. All ideologies and regimes eventually crumble. But God's kingdom, that which centers around Jesus' way of doing things, transcends all change. So don't get wrapped up in the ups and downs of your favorite political entity. Instead, pour your energy into living out Jesus' kingdom agenda.
PRAYER
Praise to you, Creator Lord! Your kingdom is near. You are the author and finisher of the faith of all. You give us blessing upon blessing to glorify your mighty acts as this world is fading. Soon, we will gather around with all the generations encircling the throne together in celebration. Hallelujah! Amen. (Daily Texts, Ground Up Grace edition)
Our Father in Heaven,
we hold your name in the highest regard.
Please come and establish your reign here on earth
so that everything that happens here will align
with what is happening in heaven.
and we’ll forgive those who have wronged us.
Shield us from the trials and temptations that come our way.
Lastly, we pray that you will protect us from all forms of evil. Amen.
