As we impress the Word of God on our hearts, talk about it along the way, write it on our gates and our doorpost, bind it to our wrist, text it to our friends, anchor in with our families, the Word does the work. Our part is not passive. It's just not primary. Only one kingdom will prevail-the kingdom of Jesus-and it is hovering just over the present state of chaos in our world, already breaking in through the tiniest seeds that will become-and indeed are becoming-the tallest trees. This is the second volume in a series of the Daily Text called First Word. Last Word. God's Word. It calls us to orient our lives around the one thing that endures, and the one thing that has the power to make a difference in the world.
