God, Help Me To Live Out My Destiny In Eternity – Now
52 Simple Prayers for 2018
“And they reigned with Christ.” What a future! Ruling and reigning with the One who created the heavens and the earth and all that is contained in them. Eternal life will not be some sort of suspended animation, harp playing by the celestial river, or polishing our golden crowns. I will have purpose…and unending ministry of administrating the rule of the King over his creation. In light of my future, what kind of person should I be now? I ought to purify myself and dedicate all that I am to serving his purposes in my everyday life. I must live as what I am going to be. I am a ruler-in-training in God’s kingdom!
“ I saw thrones on which were seated those who had been given authority to judge. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony for Jesus and because of the word of God. They had not worshiped the beast or his image and had not received his mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ a thousand years.

A Simple Prayer To Live Consistently With My Eternal Destiny:
God, on this this day, purify me, body, heart and mind. May all of my actions be consistent with the future to which I have been called. May every thought and desire be in light of my eternal identity. Fill me afresh with your Holy Spirit, and do a divine work in me that destroys anything that is inconsistent with the future of purpose that is in store for me. Amen!
