Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear: — Hebrews 12:28

We are getting the glorious victory that God has won in his Kingdom. We’ll join the angels and saints of the past and live with the Father for all time in joy and victory. This Kingdom doesn’t start when Jesus comes back, though. This Kingdom has already begun in his Church, in his people, in those who love and follow God’s will. So, when we worship, we should feel awed by the fact that the holy God of Israel is also the lowly God in Jesus, who has saved us and made us holy for himself. What else can we do but worship with deep gratitude and amazement?

Prayer

Father, you are holy and righteous, and you own everything. We appreciate you giving us access to your grace, assurances, faith, and triumph through Jesus. Please assist me in modeling a life of greater thankfulness and victory for my children and for my non-believing friends so that they, too, may one day experience your glorious Kingdom and ultimate triumph. In Jesus’s precious name I pray. Amen.
