Thy Kingdom Come

Sunday August 17th, Isaiah 56: 1 This is what the LORD says: "Maintain justice and do what is right, for my salvation is close at hand and my righteousness will soon be revealed. Maintain Justice and do what is right. Great words, which are all too often used on the other among, or apart from, us. The words do not pertain to the other however, but always to the self, whether that self be individual or corporate. It is not a call for someone else to maintain justice, it is a call for us to announce, proclaim, show, demonstrate, that the kingdom is near, that salvation is close at hand, by what We do. We are not saved by what we do, but not doing it sure can lead us down the wrong path. Each and every day, ask yourself, how am I showing that the Kingdom is near. Each and every week ask your church, how are we showing that the Kingdom is near. God in Heaven, Holy is your name. Your Kingdom come, Your will be done here and now as it is in Heaven. We call for the kingdom, now we are called to be the kingdom.
