God’s kingdom is at hand (Matthew 3:2) but you can’t see it because it comes without observation. (Luke 17:20) That’s because the kingdom–the inner government of God–is within and among (Luke 17:21) the people who truly follow and obey the risen Jesus throughout each day. Don’t just attend or visit a church to hear a weekly talk about God. Live in His kingdom by faithfully surrendering your all to His will. Allow Him to lead and direct you by His Spirit in all that you think, say, and do. (Romans 8:14)
Let the Lord build His inner government in your heart, in your behavior, and in your house! (Psalm 127:1) Instead of trying to occasionally squeeze Jesus into your busy life, allow Him to continually build you into His will. Rather than trying to figure the Bible out, let God use the Bible to straighten you out. Set aside your plans and abide in the ongoing awareness of Jesus’ presence.
In order to do that:
You need to stay
Close to Jesus
Both night and day.
He is the way,
The truth, the life.
Listen to what
He has to say
And then obey.
Discipleship
Behaves that way.
