God Quote-Your Kingdom Come, Your Will Be Done

JOHN SHIRK – In the Year of God’s Word, this is what the Lord says in Matthew 6:10.

Jesus taught us how to pray: “Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.”

This is a prayer that welcomes God’s rule and reign over the earth. It can refer to the longing of the heart for Jesus to return. It can also refer to the spreading influence of God’s kingdom throughout the world today. Romans 14:17 says that the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking, but of righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. These are the qualities that we are praying for in our lives when we ask for God’s kingdom to come.

When we ask for God’s will to be done on earth as it is in heaven, we are asking for that which pleases God’s heart to be fulfilled on the earth, and specifically to be lived out in our lives.

Matthew 6:10-that’s today’s God Quote for us to embrace for Life.
