Thankful For The Kingdom

"All your works shall give thanks to you, O LORD,and all your saints shall bless you!
They shall speak of the glory of your kingdom and tell of your power,
to make known to the children of man your mighty deeds,
and the glorious splendor of your kingdom.
Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom,
and your dominion endures throughout all generations." - (Psalm 145:10-13 ESV)

As Thanksgiving day approaches I have been meditating on the Kingdom of God. I am thankful that we have an indestructible Kingdom, and that it is a never ending reality. We enjoy the Kingdom now, but we will partake of its fullness when Jesus returns to the earth. I believe in the heart of all those who seek social justice(whether they know it or not) is really a longing for God's Kingdom to come to the earth. In that day, all evil will be destroyed and all wrong things will be made right. Our ethnicity or religious back ground does not determine who will inherit eternal life. Our allegiance to Jesus Christ is the determining factor for those who will inherit this Kingdom - because Jesus is the One True King and the Author of life itself. Give thanks for this eternal and indestructible Kingdom. - Bobby

A prayer of thanksgiving:

"Almighty and gracious Father, we give you thanks for the fruits of the earth in their season and for the labors of those who harvest them. Make us, we pray, faithful stewards of your great bounty, for the provision of our necessities and the relief of all who are in need, to the glory of your Name; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen." -  (Book of Common Prayer)
