For us God designed and created Eden. For us God provided the Ark and the rainbow. For us God gave Abraham a ram. For us God blessed Israel with Joseph. For us God chose Moses to lead the Children of Israel out of bondage in Egypt. For us God inspired Joshua as He led Israel into the Promised Land. For us God raised up judges. For us God anointed David as king. For us God proclaimed His truth through His prophets. For us God promised the coming of the Messiah. For us Jesus was born in Bethlehem. For us Jesus taught, He healed, He cleansed the possessed, He raised the dead. For us He fed the thousands, He walked on the water, He silenced the storm. He ate, He drank, He slept, He awakened, He prayed—all for us. He died. He rose. He’s coming again. All for the coming of His Kingdom and His glory. All for our joy. All for us.

May Your holy and redeeming,
Your perfect and Your loving,
Your convicting and reshaping,
Your including and excluding,
Your joyous and Your glorious,
Your miraculous and Your subtle,
Your secret and Your spreading,
Your generous and Your plentiful,
Your healing and Your quickening,
Your triumphant and victorious,
Your marvelous and mysterious,
Your perfect and perfecting
Kingdom come as You have purposed
fulfilling Your promise and making us glad.

Revelation 11:15

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.”
