His Courage To Get You There

 

...and the kingdom

    shall be the LORD's.

        Obadiah 1. 21

No matter the circumstances,

we can push back the darkness,

       by always moving forward

       towards His glory.

Things may look bleak now,

    but the end of the story

   has already been written,

  His triumph all over it.

How does this phrase

change how we see

   our situation

   or even ourselves?

His Kingdom is here.

His Kingdom shall always be.

The book of Obadiah

   contains only 21 verses.

And this verse concludes it.

All we know about Obadiah

is that his name means,

 The one who serves Yahweh. 

May we be known as the same,

building His Kingdom here

    in word and deed,

and realizing that

every moment is holy.

O LORD,

Help us to be faithful 

     right where we are,

no matter how hard the work

   or rocky patch of ground.

Prepare, train and equip us

in unexpected ways

for the familiar

     and the extraordinary

to bring Your name

and grace here.

May we speak of Your kingdom

    and tell of Your power.
