Kingdom Hope

Oh, that salvation for Israel would come out of Zion! When the LORD restores the forturnes of his people, let Jacob rejoice, let Israel be glad.
- Psalm 14:7

Prayer

Lord, you alone are righteous. You alone are good. You are the guard of the godly and the refuge for those who put their faith in Jesus. Lord, you have saved us! Lord, you are my savior and my protector, I rejoice and am glad in your salvation! Lord, your kingdom is my hope. Lord, there are many who do not call upon your name for salvation, who live corruptly, and who treat others awfully. Lord, you see their depravity, you know their hearts have turned aside from acknowledging you as God when it is so evident that you are creator, sustainer, and sovereign over all. Lord, help me not to turn in their way, but to seek you. Thank you for saving me. Lord, save again. Lord, save them and turn their hearts to seek you. Lord, you will answer and save whenever someone turns to you and calls upon your name.

Training

We have a great hope in Jesus. A hope that can look back and see Jesus establishing His righteous kingdom when He suffered, died on the cross, and was raised from the dead to make a way for people to be a part of His kingdom. A hope that can look forward and expectantly wait for the day when Jesus comes back to restore all things and to rule on earth with us. A hope that gives us joy to declare and to praise God for the wonderful works that He has done!

Do not be dismayed by, get distracted with, or be drawn into the ways of the wicked. They blatantly ignore God & His Word to live as they so choose. They will not prevail. They may have shiny things, but their souls are empty & corrupt. They will face judgment for choosing against God; they will receive their due reward for attacking those whom God protects.

Call upon the Lord. Lift up His name. Trust in Jesus. Depend on Jesus & His Word.

Warriors, worship God for the hope He has given us in His kingdom.
