Our Eternal Kingdom
DECEMBER 14, 2021
KEY FROM GOD’S WORD:
Psalm 132:11 The LORD hath sworn in truth unto David; he will not turn from it; Of the fruit of thy body will I set upon thy throne.
THOUGHT ON GOD’S WORD:
God has promised to David an eternal, never-ending kingdom from his heirs. Now how could that possibly be? There is no kingdom that lasts forever. Even David had to be smart enough to realize that. All he would have to do is investigate the past and see how kingdoms rise and fall.
This is one of the many prophecies we find given of the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ. It was through the line of David that baby Jesus came. He would be David’s successor and rightful heir to the throne. However, the throne referred to in today’s verse is not an earthly kingdom’s throne. It’s the Everlasting Kingdom of God.
When thinking about the frailty of earthly kingdoms one might wonder how long our country can last. Looking back, we see no governments nor kingdoms last forever. Most had their downfall when they began to allow blatant sin to rule. It has been said the fall of the Roman Empire can be linked closely with their tolerance and acceptance of homosexuality and sexual promiscuity. If true, what might God think of our nation today? We have so-called Churches ordaining and placing into leadership openly practicing homosexuals in what they think is God’s House. I have sad news for them. God does not bless a mess. He will not be mocked. God does forgive sin, but never condones its practice. Therefore, I would repeat a question, which should be echoing in the hearts of all true believers. How much longer can this country last on the path it is going.
CARRYING THAT THOUGHT THROUGH THE DAY:
We need to look to and seek after an eternal Kingdom. Set our sights on things above. Seek first the Kingdom of God and His RIGHTEOUSNESS. I just love the song that says, “This world is not my Home, I’m just a passing through….” Let’s do our best to help this world while here, knowing we are not here forever. As true Christians, we are citizens of an eternal kingdom and Christ is our King forever.
