Tuesday, July 22: The Ascending Lord
Day 2: The Ascending Lord
Reading: Psalm 47:5-7, Acts 1:6-11
"God has ascended amid shouts of joy." This powerful image in Psalm 47 finds its ultimate fulfillment in Christ's ascension. After conquering sin and death, Jesus ascended to the right hand of the Father, taking His rightful place as King of kings. This ascension wasn't an abandonment, but a promise of His continued reign and eventual return.
How does the reality of Christ's ascension impact your daily life? Though we can't see Him physically, He is actively ruling and interceding on our behalf. Spend time in prayer, acknowledging Jesus as your ascended King. Ask Him to help you live in light of His authority and promise of return.
