For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.
There is no greater reason for us to pray to our heavenly Father than the reason that Jesus gives to us in this final phrase in the Lord’s Prayer. For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.
We are all part of God’s kingdom. We exist because He chose to create us. Life itself exists because of God’s love for us. God created us so that He would have an outlet for His abundant love. Love has to have an outlet and God has chosen you and me as outlets for His love.
Since we are part of God’s kingdom and created as outlets for His love, His power is available to us. This power is the result of God’s love as well as the means of receiving His love! As God’s power is demonstrated in our lives, we experience His love in our lives. There is nothing any more wonderful than the love of God demonstrated by His power in our lives.
As God’s love is given to us by the exercise of His power for us, God’s glory is magnified by our response to His love. It is no wonder that Jesus tells us, “If you love Me, keep My commandments.” God’s expression of His love to us is demonstrated to us by His power. Our love for Him is demonstrated to Him by our obedience. As we express our lives to God, He is glorified and He is able to do even more with us and for us.
There is nothing that pleases God any more than the opportunity to show His love for us as He demonstrates His power to us! Prayer allows God’s power to flow into our lives. Prayer is the switch that directs His power into our lives and allows God to bless us exceedingly abundantly more than we can ask or hope for!
What a mighty God we do serve!
