Within This Moment ~ Your Kingdom Come


Greetings Dear Reader,

I mentioned a couple of days ago that I thought that I could not do justice to the Kingdom of God in describing it.  I do think that we need to ponder it in every moment.  This will not take long, so please reason with me.

Jesus’ constant conversation about the rule of the Father over all things is central to his purpose in engaging with us in human form.  He wanted to show that humans can live out the laws of the Kingdom here in the wilderness through which we journey.  We can choose to be the things that mark us as citizens of that Kingdom.

We are on our way home to that Kingdom and are required to act as ambassadors of it.  It the long journey that we face, we are supposed to wish and work for the Kingdom to come to earth.  We are to be examples of how the citizens of that Kingdom live.

This means that we are to think, live, and act as the Kingdom of the Father is.  We will have to be this anyway.  This means that in each turn of the day, at every venture, and in every moment, we are required to live as representatives of the King.  We are to do things that create moments of the Kingdom’s presence in the lives of others through our generosity, kindness, compassion, and love. 

I must live out forgiveness, kindness, love, justice, righteousness, and goodness in each encounter.  I must give my journey to both drawing closer to the Kingdom and drawing an image of the Kingdom for those around me.  I cannot be perfect but I can try Dear Reader.  We can journey together and double our efforts making a better world for everyone.

The Kingdom – Michael Card

So near and yet still so far, far away
So close, and yet still to come
Concealed, the seed is mysteriously growing
In hearts that will listen and hear
A treasure that's hidden, a pearl of great price
A fortune for fools who believe

A kingdom of beauty, a kingdom of love
A kingdom of justice and peace
A kingdom that holds all the wilds of creation
A kingdom where children will lead

For now, this kingdom's a land of the lowly
A place for the tired, plundered poor
Now our gentle King comes in peace on a donkey
But then on a charger for war
A battle in heaven, a war on the earth
To shatter the long darkened siege

A kingdom of beauty, a kingdom of love
A kingdom of justice and peace
A kingdom that holds all the wilds of creation
A kingdom where children will lead

Not by our own strength
And not by the power of might
But by His Spirit, it comes
Blinded eyes will see
And deafened ears will hear
The praise from the lips of the dumb

A kingdom of beauty, a kingdom of love
A kingdom of justice and peace
A kingdom that holds all the wilds of creation
A kingdom where children will lead

Wishing you joy in the journey,
