Narrative Lectionary Key Verse for Today
“The earth is the Lord’s and all that is in it,
the world, and those who live in it;
for he has founded it on the seas,
and established it on the rivers.”

God is qualified to rule because God made all that is—it all belongs to God. When we pray “Your kingdom come,” perhaps we can lean into creation imagery, and envision a time when the health and wholeness of all creation will be fully restored. Rivers and lakes and oceans will be free of pollution, habitats will be lush and thriving, all life will flourish together, and God will maintain the balance. That’s a kingdom I would definitely love to come!
How do I envision God’s rulership over creation?
