Your Kingdom Come

Matthew 6:8-10
“Your Father knows what you need before you ask him. This is how you are to pray: Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as in heaven.”

A toddler wants all kinds of stuff…but a loving parent knows what the toddler truly needs. How much more is this so with our Loving Creator? You are the beloved child of the Maker of the Universe! Jesus said that the will of God was that His kingdom would come “on earth as in heaven.” The question is…am I more interested in building my kingdom or God’s? What we truly need is God’s kingdom. How will God’s kingdom come about “on earth” if not through the cooperation of you and me? Dear God, how do you want to do this…through me?
