“And this is the plan: At the right time, he (God) will bring everything together in Christ—everything in heaven and on earth.” Eph. 1:10
Heavenly Father, you never promised anything that has not/will not come to pass. You are the perfect planner and “get-it-done-er.” Unlike us, you never have to say, “Lord willing”; for you are the Lord who does as he wills.
Jesus is the “Yes!” to all your promises (2Cor.1:20)—not the “Might Be,” “Could Be,” or “Possibly.” Though life often feels like a vulnerability factory, filled with no-so-happy-happenstance, that is only our limited viewpoint—not redemptive-reality. If we could only see what you see and know what you know.
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…
We will see Jesus and be completely like him.
Tears will be wiped, pain redeemed, everything healed.
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, everything you wish, at just the right time, all for your glory. So Very Hallelujah and Amen.
