Thoughts on Today's Verse...

"Your kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven." (Matthew 6:10 BSB)
 

"Come, O Lord!" (1 Corinthians 16:22 BSB)


Yes, every knee will someday bow, but thank God, ours already do. We live in anticipation of the day when every knee in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father" (Philippians 2:10-11). Until that day, let's do all we can to influence as many as we can to receive the grace of God through faith in Jesus. We want them to bow before Jesus now as their Savior and Lord, today, so on that great future day, they can join with the host of heaven in joy, not in regret and fear, and acknowledge Jesus for who he is: Lord of all!

My Prayer...

Father, I thank you for saving me. May my anticipation of the day of Jesus' victory move me to be your agent of reconciliation so others are ready for that day and will welcome it with joy. Give me eyes to see those who need to come to Jesus today. Through him I pray. Amen.
