…Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven." - Matthew 6:10
I was reminded of this phrase earlier this week. Imagine: God’s will, being done on earth, as it already has been done in heaven.
No pain or suffering, no scarcity, no difficulties, no ugliness. Not just the good things in life, but only the better than the best things in life. In great abundance, as well.
That’s heaven. That’s God’s kingdom, God’s will. That eternal place where most of us reading this will enter. The eternal place where God wants all to enter, but He understands that’s our individual choice, not His to make.
There will come a day when America will become irrelevant, and a new world order will replace it. That may be this year, 100 years from now, or some other time. It's not for any of us to know, except it will happen in God’s perfect time. We can pray all we want for God to heal our land – and pray we should – but we all must understand God’s answer may be “No, not this time, I have something bigger and better for you”.
When we pray for America, let’s also pray for our Lord’s return, and His will be done, under His terms, not ours. The latter is greater than the former.
