And when I am lifted up from the earth, I will draw everyone to myself.”
John 12:32
You can make many plans, but the Lord ’s purpose will prevail.
Proverbs 19:21
So when the apostles were with Jesus, they kept asking him, “Lord, has the time come for you to free Israel and restore our kingdom?”
He replied, “The Father alone has the authority to set those dates and times, and they are not for you to know. But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. And you will be my witnesses, telling people about me everywhere—in Jerusalem, throughout Judea, in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”
Acts 1:6-8
Savior, as your disciples witnessed your ascension into heaven, help us to witness your power over all areas of our lives. You came once as a tiny baby, but you will return to earth as a conquering king. We wait with expectation and hope for that glorious day. In your name, we pray. Amen!
