Thy Kingdom Come
‘seek first his kingdom and his righteousness’
(Matthew 6:33)
We have recently seen the death of a beloved Queen. Her rule or kingdom lasted over seventy years.
For many, her continued presence gave a sense of stability in a changing and sinful world.
But she could not reign forever. Only God can do that.
As we pray for his kingdom to come we are praying for the return of Jesus
and the beginning of a new and wonderful era, when humans will fully acknowledge God
and live in the new heavens and new earth without sin and evil.
By seeking his kingdom, we are praying for it,
but we are also even now living in it as we live for the King – Jesus Christ our Lord.
Question for thought: Do I long for Jesus to return?
Gracious Lord, please continue to give courage to the members in Northern Argentina as they put
God’s love into action in practical ways in a culture which does not value women highly.
Pray they may discover meeting together involves both practical action, prayer and biblical preparation.
