Joshua 19:40–21:8; Luke 17:1–10
I hope for your salvation, O Lord. Psalm 119:166
The one who testifies to these things says, “Surely I am coming soon.” Revelation 22:20
Blessed Jesus, though you taught that the kingdom of God is here, we sometimes think the kingdom is about some time in the future, after our lives on Earth are complete. If we are not looking for you, we won’t see the way you show up day after day in all that we do, say, plan, and hope. Open our hearts to hear the promise, “I am coming soon,” to be a word for this day. Come quickly! We want to see you, here and now! Amen.
