The Lord’s Prayer is a pretty powerful tool for many Christians. We pray it and often don’t really give it much thought whatsoever. Some of those words that we pray go like this thy kingdom come, thy will be done… What does it mean for God’s kingdom to come?
In our song selection on this Music Monday, which just so happens to be occurring on a Tuesday, we’re going to focus on that simple phrase thy Kingdom come. God’s kingdom is something many of us long to see. We can’t wait until the days of the resurrection when God will bring us into his kingdom. But this phrase isn’t talking about something that one day will happen. Rather in this prayer we’re asking that the we see the reality of His kingdom here, now in the places where we live, work and play.
As you listen to the song today, consider the ways you can bring the reality of God’s kingdom to your daily life. The chorus of this Music Monday song highlights that it’s our acts of love that bring the reality of God’s love and his kingdom to light everyday. When we serve without expectation of any return, we bring the kingdom come. When we love the unlovable, we bring the kingdom come. When we visit the lonely and the sick, we bring his kingdom to life. When we turn our focus outside of ourselves and onto those around us, we bring the kingdom come.
As you listen to this morning’s song, open your eyes and start looking for doors through which you can walk with God’s love. Go through the rest of the week striving to bring the kingdom of God to life in your daily journey. Remember with every act of love you bring the kingdom of God to life where you live, work, and play.
