Where God Is King
Picture of God #53, Fri 12/15/00
Luke 17:20
Once, having been asked by the Pharisees when the
kingdom of God would
come, Jesus replied, "The kingdom of God
does not come with your careful
observation, 21nor will people say,
‘Here it is,’ or ‘There it is,’ because the
kingdom of God is within you."
- The Kingdom - Absolute, total, complete, authoritative reign. What
the King says, goes. And the extent of that power, how far and wide it
reaches, is the Kingdom.
- of God - Maker of Heaven, Earth and beyond. Sovereign Source and
Origin of the Universe. The Unmoved Mover.
- is Within - as in inside. Carried around. Like a heart, lung,
kidney, spleen, bloodstream.
- You! - Every "you"...Jesus, me, even you.
The Kingdom of God is Within You-->
The place where the Infinite Creator's
power is absolute is inside your
very soul.
Have you seen it?
Doesn't it seem that...should such a thing actually exist...(and it does)...doesn't it seem
that it would be worth devoting your entire live to finding, growing &
developing?
Hmmmm?
Ready when you are, faithful voyager.
The Endless Enigma
from Emerson, Lake and Palmer's Trilogy
Album
Why do you stare
Do you think that I care?
You've been mislead
By the thoughts in your head
Your words waste and decay
Nothing you say
Reaches my ears anyway
You never spoke a word of truth!!!!!
Why do you think
I believe what you said
Few of your words
Ever enter my head
I'm tired of livery freaks
With tongues in their cheeks
Turning their eyes as they speak
They make me sick and tired!!!!!
Are you confused
To the point in your mind
Where you're blind
Can't you see you're wrong!?
Won't you refuse
To be used
Even though you may know
I can see you're wrong?
Please, please, please open their eyes!!
Please, please, please don't give me lies!!!
I look all of the earth
Witness my birth
Cried at the sight of a man
And still I don't know who I am
Are you confused
To the point in your mind
Though you're blind
Can't you see you're wrong!?
Won't you refuse
To be used
Even though you may know
I can see you're wrong?
Please, please, please open their eyes!!
Please, please, please don't give me lies!!!
I've seen paupers as kings
Puppets on strings
Dance for the children who stare
You must have seen them everywhere
--\--
Each part was played
Though the play was not shown
Everyone came
But they all sat alone
The dawn opened the play
Waking the day
Causing a silent hooray
The dawn will break another day
Now that it's done...
I've begun to see the reason why I'm here!!
