TODAY is the first day of the REST of your life! Get it!
Jesus gives us the REST of our lives...in Him. We enter His REST through believing and serving Him. I will give you REST, the REST of your life...for the rest of your lives.
And TODAY can be the first day of REST for peoples lives...while it is still called TODAY. Hebrews 4:7 ...through a new and living way of the Spirit, alive to God, living with Him now, and not in old ways and dead works, but faith in the work of righteousness He has already done for us.
The earth and everything in it, the world and its inhabitants, belong to the Lord. Psalm 24:1
I believe that God has given us dominion on the earth and that we can reclaim it for His glory and present it back to Him in wholeness. I want to do my part, under His Lordship, in restoring order to the chaotic environment in which we live.
I am seeing more now how unity is the instrumentation for the implementation of the Kingdom; we might not have it all together, but together we have it all!
I was deeply touched by this part of the memorial service for Michael Jackson when everyone sang We Are The World, and Heal The World...seeing the children, including his, singing these songs with the visual backdrop, I think really shows what the Kingdom is about. The words truly speak of restoration, love, and unity, and I believe are very Kingdom-oriented. Whatever you think of or have a bias about in regards to Michael, try to watch some of this at least with an open heart and mind.
In Acts 3:25 we are reminded that "...ALL the families of the earth will be blessed."
Jesus is held in the heavens until the restoration of all things. Acts 3:21 ...so let's do our part to restore and heal the world!
