Kingdom Living in Difficulties

Regardless of our circumstances we are to be worshipers. It has been said by Barry Webb that our "life together is to be a visible sign that the kingdom of God—His reign of perfect justice and righteousness—is just around the corner, breaking in and already making its presence felt". As we pray through whatever is on our, or another's, plate consider how God might manifest His kingdom reign in each situation and into each person. Read through Jesus' sermon on the mount in Matthew chapters 5 through 7, especially the beatitudes in 5.3-12: "Blessed are...for they will…". Even when we are at the bottom of our rope, Jesus still wants to work in our lives.
