The Whole Story: A Life in God's Kingdom, Part OneVoorbeeld

Daily Reflection: Psalm 103:15-22 is a bit of a humbling scripture as it reminds us of the reality of our lives on this side of death. Yet, it simultaneously provides hope for this reality as it speaks to the secret of living a life of flourishing in the meantime. How? Fear of the Lord. This is not a fear rooted in being scared, but instead, a fear rooted in reverence and awe. When we view God in this way, we, as his family, can come together to make Kingdom impacts throughout generations. By adhering to his word, God will use his family to advance his Kingdom in such a way that the reality of the shortness of life becomes hope-filled in the reality that is to come in eternity with him. Daily Demonstration: Today, take time to think about your children’s children. If you don’t have children, think about the generations to come behind us. In what ways can we, as God’s family, allow God to use us to bring heaven to earth in such a way that even they are impacted? In what ways can we help to see the generations to come to experience the steadfast love of the world? One of those most powerful things that you can do during a fast is to look into the future and pray for God’s will to be carried out. Pray and fast for future generations.
