“God,
who made the world and everything in it, He is Lord of heaven and earth” Acts
17:24 NKJV
The jewel of this petition is a lockbox
treasure for our minds and hearts. While
it often seems that the god of this world is firmly in control, the Bible
assures us differently. God is at work
preserving the saints. He is at work
reaching the lost. He is at work judging
nations. He has a divine will for this
world and we beseech Him to fulfill it.
The scriptures assure us that God neither slumbers nor sleeps. His watch care is certain and His power is
active in heaven and earth.
Most importantly, perhaps, is that when we
pray for His will to be done we remember who it is who is praying. We are praying. We are His children. We are asking for Him to reveal His will and
power in us for His glory sake. We are
testifying of our submission to His divine plan. We can make this petition very personal and
say, “Thy will be done in me as it is in heaven.” Then we carry this jewel of purpose with us
all day long and let its radiance shine to all God’s creation.
Precious
Father, Help me today to be a willing vessel of Your will. Amen.
