I’m building my kingdom!š¤
What do you think of our money tower? Fun time with the girls, but how often are we tempted to try to build our own kingdom by collecting more and more money, stuff, trophies, success, or fame?
Matthew 6:10 says, “Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.”
Whose Kingdom?
That verse is part of the Lord’s prayer, which is really Jesus giving us an example of how WE should pray.
First of all, I hope you pray…often. And if you do, take a look at what you pray for. And what you live for and work for. Is it all about things that will help you build your kingdom or more about things that will ultimately help build Jesus’ kingdom? Jesus loves to meet our needs and even give us many blessings that we want, but I hope we use everything we have and everything He gives us to build His kingdom, not our own.
His kingdom is the only one that will last for eternity, and His kingdom is the only message of hope that can help people for all of eternity.
