Good morning, Jesus.
And do not lead us into temptation but deliver us from the evil one. For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. (Matthew 6:13).
Oh, Lord God Almighty! Because You are without beginning and without end, You hold the right to reign as You will over all Your creation. How You orchestrate nature and integrate human events reveals Your sovereignty. Your kingdom is pure righteousness and holiness, without end and without equal.
Your power is without limit. You raise earthly kingdoms and tear down earthly kingdoms. You change the destiny of nations. All creation, the order of the universe, the marvels of nature are held together by the power of Your Word (Colossians 1:13). But more important, only Your power can change the hearts of men (Ezekiel 36:26). Only Your power could resurrect Christ Jesus from the dead. And only You have the power to forgive sins! By Your power the power of sin is broken in the lives of Your followers (Romans 6:7). Our faith’s foundation rests not on an ideology or theory, but on Your power, Lord God.
What human words come close to describing Your glory? The ancient psalmist’s attempts seem so inadequate, yet we join them to declare Lord, our Lord! How majestic is your name in all the earth. You have set your glory in the heavens (Psalm 8:1). The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky displays what his hands have made (Psalm 19:1). You make known Your mighty acts and glorious splendor of Your Kingdom. Your Kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and Your dominion endures through all generations. The Lord is faithful in all His words (Psalm 145:12–13).
Lord God, may our lives reflect Your Kingdom, Your power and Your glory in all we do. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
