“And this is the plan: At the right time, he (God) will bring everything together under the authority of Christ—everything in heaven and on earth.” Eph. 1:10
Heavenly Father, it’s easy to get preoccupied, confused, and flustered with our plans. So much so, we forget you are the perfect planner, and “get-it-done-er.” Unlike us, you never have to say, “Lord willing.”
You never promised and planned anything that has not/will not come to pass. Jesus is the “Yes” to all your promises (2 Cor. 1:20); not the “Might Be,” “Could Be,” or “Possibly.” Though life often feels like random-crazy, a vulnerability factory, or no-so-happy happenstance … that’s perception, not redemptive reality.
Father, make this one verse from the Apostle Paul (Eph. 1:10) the GPS setting of our hearts, rocket fuel for our peace, and pure oxygen for our hope. Thank you for setting a Day when everything will be united, summed-up, “shalom-ed,” and perfected in Jesus.
What a blessed Day that will be…
Wiped tears, redeemed pain, and healed everything.
No more worries, wars, regrets, shame, hurting, or hurting others.
No more political/ideological “Right” or “Left”, only Jesus at the Center.
The earth will be filled with your glory, beloved family, and fulfilled promises.
Until then, renew and deepen our love for Jesus. By your grace, supersize our gentleness, humility, and kindness towards people. We are actually glad we get to pray “Lord willing,” because you do all things well, Father. So Very Amen.
