Pray Over Your Facebook Friends (Or Some Other Group)
If you are on Facebook or some other social media, you probably have a lot of friends, some of whom don’t, yet, know Jesus. Why not spend s few minutes today praying for them?
If your list is really long, break it up into chunks and commit to praying for them over the next several days. Who knows, when you’ve gone through the whole list, you may even decide this is something you enjoyed doing and continue doing it, going through the list again and again.
If you aren’t on social media, make another list. Maybe it could be a list of neighbors or coworkers or the people from your Zumba class.
Today: Pray Over Your Facebook Friends (Or Some Other Group)
“And the Lord will be king over all the earth. On that day the Lord will be one and his name one.” – Zechariah 14:9
We live in a pluralistic society. There are many beliefs about many different things, from the inconsequential to the very consequential.
Who has the best pizza?
What football team is the best (if they ever play again)?
Should we have open or closed borders?
Should I spoil the child or discipline him?
Who is God?
Of course, it’s that last one that is most important. You can do alright in life eating pizza that isn’t the best and there are a lot of people who root for the Lions and do just fine. Political questions, questions about parenting, and others will affect people’s lives, but only temporarily.
What you believe about God has eternal effects.
There is only one Lord, the Triune God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. It is only the name of Jesus that we are saved. If we get this wrong, we have missed the most important question. If we get it right, the reward is eternal life in Heaven.
No Battle to the End: Our passage makes the claim clearly. In the end, there is only one Lord. There is only one name. However, the reality is, there is only one name, today, too. This isn’t some supernatural battle to see who will come out on top. There has always only been one God. He was God in the beginning. He is God, today. He will be God forever.
This is the one in whom you place your trust. The one who is God over all, Lord of lords and King of kings. You can trust Him with eternity and you can trust Him with today.
Lord of All,
You created everything that is and sustain all of creation. Your rule is just and loving. You have shown mercy on many, including me. You are Lord of all and You are my Lord.
