May Thy Kingdom Come

May Thy Kingdom Come

      There comes a time when babies must stop eating soft food and drinking only milk, and they must begin to digest solid food. Likewise, there comes a time when Christians must put aside the milk and soft food of the word of God, and start to digest and absorb the meat of the word, and to think about and watch, and prepare for the future kingdom of Christ on earth.

      We will not always have to put up with corrupt and sinful governments on earth. We have the promise of God that one day, the righteous God, the King of kings, the Lord Jesus Christ, will rule from the throne of David with a rod of iron. “For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given, and the government shall be upon his shoulders, and his name shall be called wonderful, counselor, the migfhty God, the everlasting Father, the prince of peace. Of the increase of his government and peace, there shall be no end, and upon the throne of David and upon his kingdom to order it and to establish it with judgment, with justice from henceforth and even forever. The zeal of the Lord of host will perform this” Isaiah 9: 6-7. “And the seventh angel sounded, and there were great voices in heaven saying, the kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord and his Christ, and he shall reign forever and ever.” Rev 11: 15.

      Let us have our wicks trimmed, and our lamps filled with oil and burning, as it were, and let us be listening for the sound of the trumpet, and watching for our Lord's return for his own, then seven years later for him to return with his own to establish his kingdom on earth as he has promised.

That which God has promised, he has and will still fulfill. While we wait for him, let us be steadfast and unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord.
