How many times have you said the Lord’s Prayer? I was recently reading a devotional, and the author pointed out something that I’ve continued to think about….The prayer starts with “Our Father” not “My Father.” Living in a community focused culture for the past several years, I am often reminded that here “I” and “my” don’t come first. It has been a wonderful (and Biblical) change in perspective for me, and a great reminder that the Kingdom of Heaven is not reflective of any one nation or people group–it’s a reflection of the King of Kings. So, as we pray to Our Father, let’s remember our brothers and sisters, let’s lift our community–the whole body of Christ.
