God's Kingdom Now
Matthew 6:9-13
9 “Therefore, you should pray like this:
Our Father in heaven,
your name be honored as holy.
10 Your kingdom come.
Your will be done
on earth as it is in heaven.
11 Give us today our daily bread.
12 And forgive us our debts,
as we also have forgiven our debtors.
13 And do not bring us into temptation,
but deliver us from the evil one.

Jesus taught us to pray "Your kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven." The gospel isn't just about future salvation; it's about God's kingdom breaking into our world now. As you pray the Lord's Prayer today, pause at each phrase and consider its implications for your life. How can you participate in bringing God's kingdom to your relationships, workplace, or community today? Ask God to show you specific ways you can align your life with His kingdom purposes.
