"Therefore, when they had come together, they asked Him, saying, 'Lord, will You at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?' And He said to them, 'It is not for you to know times or seasons which the Father has put in His own authority.' "
Acts 1:6-7
The disciples were still thinking in the old mode. They didn't comprehend that the Kingdom was in them. The truth is, the Kingdom is already here – in the lives of people who acknowledge Jesus as King. Jesus will return to set up an earthly kingdom, but it is not for us to know when. People who set dates for Jesus' return are chasing their own shadow because the shadow keeps moving ahead of them. But it will happen in God's timing, whether today or a thousand years from now. For now, we live in His Kingdom under His Kingship doing the King's work.
Today's Thought: It is God's business, not ours, to know the day of Jesus' return.
Have a Kingdom day. Love you.
