Jesus does everything in the context of the Kingdom. I guess that’s because He’s the King. In Luke 6 though, he shows us that the ‘kingdom’ belongs to more than just Him.
“Looking at his disciples, he said:
‘Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God.’” - Luke 6:20
When we pray the Lord’s Prayer we say, ‘yours is the kingdom’ to remind ourselves that everything we’ve asked for is in line with His Kingdom coming and His will being done.
But what if it’s also... our kingdom? Not the things we want to happen, but the things He designed, worked out, implemented somehow in us, and through us? What if we’re part of it, and it’s part of us? What if having nothing is a key to being part of everything?
Today when you pray, remember that God wants to move through you. In all the things you might ask for, let Him use you to be the answer to prayer that someone else might be looking for. That’s how the Kingdom works. It’s His and it’s ours. And it’s yours.
