The Kingdom of God is not merely a future reality but a present work of God in the hearts of those who belong to Christ. When Jesus reigns in our hearts, His righteousness, peace, and joy become evident in our lives. As citizens of God’s Kingdom, we should reflect His character wherever we go. Let Christ rule over every area of your life. Scriptural Readings for the Day Luke 17:20-21 (KJV) “And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation: Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.” Romans 14:17 (KJV) “For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.” Colossians 1:13 (KJV) “Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son.” Prayer Heavenly Father, let Your Kingdom rule in my heart every day. Help me to live in righteousness, peace, and obedience as I await the glorious return of Jesus Christ. Amen.
