KING JESUS

PSALM 103:19 (NLT)
The LORD has made the heavens his throne;
from there he rules over everything.


MATTHEW 25:31-32 (NLT)
But when the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit upon his glorious throne. All the nations will be gathered in his presence...

THE ESSENCE
Eventually, the whole world will recognize King Jesus. 

DAILY FODDER
What difference does it make in your life today, knowing that Jesus will eventually be recognized as sovereign over every realm of creation?  

PRAYER
Jesus, you showed us your throne "on earth as it is in heaven." It is a chair of charity, a seat of sympathy. Continue to carpenter my life to fit your kingdom reign. Let my legs walk for others less fortunate, my back support those who are falling. Let my lap accept the least and the lost, for your glory. Amen. (Daily Texts, Ground Up Grace edition)

THE LORD’S PRAYER (ABP)
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.
Give us enough food for today.
Forgive us our wrongdoing,
     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.
