Day 18

There are times in our world history when this promise of God seems like a mirage in the face of brutal governments, racial hatred, and human injustice. But over time, brutal governments are smashed. Despots go to their graves, often in shame and disgrace. Moral indignation replaces complacency. So let’s renew the prayer Jesus taught us: “Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven!” Let’s demonstrate God’s will being done in our families, friendships, churches, communities, and cultures! As Kingdom people, don’t you think we are called to model the ethics and values of God’s will in a world so desperate for them? “The LORD works righteousness and justice for all the oppressed.” Psalm 103:6.
