Thy Kingdom Come (Part 1)

The second petition of the Lord's Prayer -- "Thy Kingdom Come" -- also teaches us that God has given us prayer to summon the power of God for God's priorities. God first, us second. That is the order. There is nothing more important on earth or in heaven than the kingdom of God. God gave us the gift of prayer for His kingdom. Haggai 1 teaches the principle of kingdom priorities. Israel should not expect things to go well for them while they dwelt in paneled houses and the temple of the Lord lay desolate.
