As in Heaven
Your kingdom come; Your will be done on earth, as it is in heaven.
- Matthew 6:10
Jesus came to bring the kingdom of heaven to earth; to establish godly, heavenly authority in the hearts and lives of all mankind.
God said, "I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people; And they shall not teach every man his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, "Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest" (Hebrews 8:10-11).
We do not live in a kingdom cut off from the King, nor do we live bound by impersonal laws that control every aspect of our lives. In the kingdom of heaven, Jesus Christ dwells inside every Spirit-filled believer, teaching us and guiding us every step of the way. As our indwelling constant companion and counselor, the Holy Spirit reveals to us the heart of the Savior.
Jesus came to bring heaven to earth, to bestow the gift of sonship, and bring you into a relationship with your heavenly Father. The kingdom dwells within you. Celebrate the reign of the King of kings in your life.
Jesus, I rejoice over Your reign in my life. Make every decision. Guide me every step of the way. Keep me in Your path. Amen.
