Willard: the eternal kingdom

Sunday, October 27, 2024
Meditation:
Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom,
    and your dominion endures through all generations.
The LORD is faithful to all his promises
    and loving toward all he has made.
    —Psalm 145:13 (NIV)
Quotation:
    We will not doubt that that kingdom has existed from the moment of creation and will never end. It cannot be “shaken” and it is totally good. It has never been in trouble and never will be. It is not something that human beings produce or, ultimately, can hinder. We do have an invitation to be a part of it, but if we refuse we only hurt ourselves.
    ... Dallas Willard (1935-2013), The Divine Conspiracy, HarperCollins, 1997, p. 25 (see the book)

Quiet time reflection:
    Lord, receive me into Your kingdom. CQOD    Blog    email    RSS
