While it is true that God has a plan to take us to His Kingdom of glory, He exhibits His kingdom every day. In Christ, we are able to become a Child of God and it is through His Children that God reveals Himself today. It is as Luther once said, "God shows us who He is by our love for one another. Also, the gift of eternal life is also a present possession, because it referes not only to the length of life, but also to the quality of life. We don't want to repeat the error of the disciples when they asked Jesus "show us the Father and that is enough." Instead, we now live our lives based on faith and His grace is sufficient for us.
Daily Prayer: Father, strengthen us to seize the moment. Remove the scales from our eyes so that we may see all that Your Good Hand has accomplished. Let us be imitators of Christ because You sent Him to us to be our Example. Finally, let us not dampen the work of the Spirit so that through our lives we may exhibit the Kingdom of God in our daily lives. In Jesus name I pray Amen.
