Kingdom Focused. If you're not sure of your future, your purpose, or your goals, may I suggest reading Nehemiah and Micah. What powerful insight into our future. Full of clear, direct messages about how we live our lives now and about what our future holds. These Prophets make it obvious that our trust and hope is not to be in the things of men but in our victorious King. Our delights are not to be in our works and talents, but in our faithful Redeemer. Our goals are not to be of this earth but of His Kingdom to come. If we get so wrapped up in earthly success we are missing the desires and will of our Father. If we are so wrapped up in ourselves we miss the beauty and meaning of the Cross. I have a lot of work to do in myself. I fall so short from His will. I desire to be at the top of the mountain with His face shining on mine. I want my words to be His. I want my thoughts to be His. I want my desires to be His.
Lord, take away the ugly in me. Sculpt away the flesh. Sweep away the dirt. Remove the world from within me. Cut away the anger. Fill me with as much of You as you're willing. Reside in me my Lord. Live and work through me. Do great and mighty things for Your glory, for Your Kingdom! Surround me with your people, with your counsel, with your angels. Use me Lord. Amen.
