Donāt be a Chicken
āBut seek his kingdom, and these things will be provided for you. Donāt be afraid, little flock, because your Father delights to give you the kingdom.ā (Luke 12:32)
In The Passion Translation this reads,Ā āSo donāt ever be afraid, dearest friends! Your loving Father joyously gives you his kingdom realm with all its promises!ā
Your loving Father gives you His kingdom with joy! What boldness we can walk in when we grasp our own identity and the Fathers love for us! We are His beloved, His children. As his children we have been given His kingdom: His royal power, kingship, dominion, and rule. And we get to bring that kingdom into effect all around us. His kingdom is freedom, power, healing.
Today Iām reminding myself of this because I need to remember what Iāve been given. Iāve been chicken lately. I watched a man walk by in a neck brace and I hesitated, and then I didn't pray for him. I haven't been keeping my head up and my eyes open. But Iāve been given the the kingdom, and the privilege of enforcing and expanding it wherever I go.Ā
Let's bring the kingdom my friends. Letās remember what weāve been given and the authority we walk in. Letās give away with joy what's been given to us with joy!
