Morning by Morning, September 11 - One King. One Kingdom.
Good morning, Lord Jesus. Be high and lifted up, here in my heart and every moment of my day.
"Then the seventh angel blew his trumpet, and there were loud voices in heaven, saying, 'The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ, and He shall reign forever and ever!'" (Revelation 11:15)
On "9-11" I always remember the day the towers fell and all who lost their lives that day, when all our lives were forever changed from that day forth.
But as that infamous scene comes to mind this morning, I also see with the eyes of my heart towers and buildings all around the world coming down. And this Scripture comes to mind of the time to come when all the "towers" of this world, all the places that are high and lifted up in our hearts and our world that would take the place that You alone are to have, come falling down.
There will come a day when "The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ." There is one King and one Kingdom. And there is only One who will rule and reign forever and ever. "Of the increase of His government and peace there will be no end" (Isaiah 9:7). "He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of His kingdom there will be no end" (Luke 1:33). "His dominion is an everlasting dominion that shall not pass away, and His kingdom is one that shall never be destroyed" (Daniel 7:14).
There will come a day when "we will all stand before the judgment seat of God; for it is written, 'As I live, says the Lord, every knee shall bow to Me, and every tongue shall confess to God.' So then each of us will give an account of himself to God" (Romans 14:10-12). In that day, the Word You spoke through Your prophet Isaiah of this day to come will be fulfilled, "I have sworn by Myself; the word has gone out of My mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, that to Me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall take an oath" (Isaiah 45:23). All will be fulfilled in Christ, for "Every knee shall bow ... and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father" (Philippians 2:9-11).
One King. One Kingdom.
And all the towers and kingdoms of this world will fall before the One who is "King of Kings and Lord of Lords" (Revelation 19:16), before the One who is "Lord of All" (Romans 10:12; Acts 10:36). All will bow before the One who alone is worthy of it all (Revelation 4:11). In that day, the kingdoms of this world will have become the kingdom of our God and of His Christ (Revelation 11:15).
Lord, as I bow before You and confess before my world, let the kingdom of my heart become Your kingdom today. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
Be encouraged today! In the Love of Jesus, Tommy Hays
My friend, may the King of Kings and Lord of Lords rule and and reign in your heart and in our world, in Jesus name. Please pray the same for me. And I join with you and all the world as we remember those who lost their lives and loved ones on that tragic day of September 11, 2001. God bless you, my friend!
