JOHN SHIRK – Today’s Faith-Building Verse is Matthew 6:13b.

Jesus taught us to pray, “For yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.”

This is an acknowledgement of God’s Sovereignty over the world, human history, and the future.

He reigns on the throne with supreme power and authority. When we say this prayer to the LORD from the heart, we exalt His name in praise and worship.

In the context of a world torn by sin and strife, we need reminders that God is still in control, and is working through the situations of this world to bring about His glory.  Psalm 46:10 says, “Be still and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations. I will be exalted in the earth.”

This Faith-Building Verse inspires us to stand in awe of God’s glory in the Year of Relationship.
