Every Knee Will Bow

Zechariah 14:9 The Lord will be king over the whole earth. On that day there will be one Lord, and his name the only name.

Thoughts on today's verse

"Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven." Jesus taught us to pray for the day that the LORD would be the recognized king over all the earth. We look forward to that, because our faith will be shown true and the LORD himself will be glorified as he should be. In a world of profanity, a world where God's name is blasphemed, every knee will bow and every tongue confess that he is LORD, Yahweh, incomparable without rival.

Prayer: Great Almighty LORD, work to bring yourself glory, in these days. Do mighty works that show your Sovereignty. Help us as we seek to bring others to call on your name and praise your grace. Through Jesus I pray. Amen.

Noah Webster’s 1828 dictionary defines sovereign as “Supreme in power; possessing supreme dominion; as a sovereign ruler of the universe.” The Sovereignty of God is the biblical teaching that all things are under God's rule and control, and that nothing happens without His direction or permission. Here is a link to what R.C. Sproul has to say on sovereignty - http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/9170/SPROUL10.HTM

It seems to me that the concept of Sovereign is losing its meaning in our society. The culture that I live in says that its about me...

Thank You, Lord that you are my God and that its not about me. May my focus be on you today. I also pray for my brothers on this blog. Keep them pure and holy today.

I will be out of town until Saturday, Clark. I'm not sure if I'll have connectivity at the hotel I'm staying.

Have a safe Independence Day, everyone.

I don't know if Sovereignty is losing its meaning, as much as people tend to give themselves Sovereignty.

Father, you are always King over this earth. Let me do what I can today to emphasize that to those around me and help my focus be on you.

Happy 4th all,
