The Kingdom of God

Luke 17:21
Nor will people say, Look! Here [it is]! or, See, [it is] there! For behold, the kingdom of God is within you [in your hearts] and among you [surrounding you].
I cannot think of a better verse to meditate on as we approach the New Year.
Jesus said, "the kingdom of God is within you [in your hearts] and among you [surrounding you]."
For so many years I believed I had to wait to go to heaven to experience the kingdom of God.
I have longed to step into heaven and meet the Lord and His Son.
However, as we read the Gospels and study Jesus and all that He said, we begin to understand the kingdom of God is all around us.
The kingdom of God is within.
We can experience the true kingdom in our quiet moments with God.
And then we can carry the Word out into the world.
The Great Commission, after all, is to share the Gospel and offer the kingdom of God to all people.
Let’s take time to inquire of the Lord about how we can do more of this in the New Year to come.
May you be richly blessed in this New Year!
Today I am grateful that the kingdom of God is within my heart and close by at all times.
May you find that the kingdom of God is within your heart and within the hearts of your loved ones.
Daily Prayer:
O Lord, thank You for sending Your Son to come to this world and give His life for us. Thank You for allowing us to sit in Your presence and experience Your kingdom in our hearts. As we sit in Your presence, You change our hearts. You change our desires. You change our souls. Thank You, Lord, for the privilege and blessing to be in relationship with You. Help us rest in Your grace, mercy, and love, and then share You to others. Help us bless someone this day, Lord. Thank You for hearing our prayer.
Answer: I AM with you, and My Spirit is within you. Come to Me, and I will give you the keys to the kingdom.
Response: So undeserving of all You offer, thank You, Father. In Jesus’ name, amen.
