Sometimes life doesn't seem fair, does it? Have we ever wondered why good people have to hurt? Why the innocent suffer? Often it seems that those who have been most battered by life seem to understand Jesus best, and His assurance finds its way into the darkest corners of life, because regardless of our circumstances, God meets our needs. By surrendering to Him, the ultimate victory is ours.
What is unique about the kingdom of God is that we are assured of victory. We have won! We are assured that we will someday stand before the face of God and see the King of kings. We are assured that someday we will enter a world where there will be no more pain, no more tears, no more sorrow.
If we have no faith in the future, then we have no power in the present. If we have no faith in the life beyond this life, then our present life is going to be powerless. But if we believe in the future and are assured of victory, then there should be a dance in our step and a smile on our face.
THY KINGDOM COME, Lord. Let you kingdom live in the hearts of people, let your kingdom live in society, let the church be strong, and let your kingdom come eternally. Amen.
