“Let Your kingdom come…” Matthew 6:10

What must God’s kingdom look like? We read various verses in the Bible describing mansions and streets of gold, yet for me God’s kingdom is not hard to image. Simply look at the extraordinary vistas all around us; a breathtaking flower field, a sunrise filled with color, a waterfall cascading into a clear ocean. How about someone unselfishly giving a hand to another who is down on their luck, or speaking a kind word to lift someone’s spirits, or a friend forgiving another the unforgivable.

God’s Kingdom Is All Around Us.

We just have to know where to look, and then realize that we’ve not even scratched the surface of the awesomeness of God’s kingdom. He’s only given us a little glimpse. When Jesus friends asked Him how they should pray, He gave to them 53 words in Matthew chapter 6 as the model prayer, commonly referred to as “The Lord’s Prayer”. Four of those words say, “Let Your kingdom come.” What power would be unleashed in this world of ours if we passionately and sincerely prayed these four words. I would expect we’d begin to see a closer view of God’s kingdom pour all over our lives.
