For Thine is the Kingdom, the Power, and the Glory Forever
As the holiday season draws near, our hearts naturally turn toward reflection, gratitude, and anticipation. In the midst of the busyness—shopping lists, decorations, and gatherings—we can sometimes lose sight of what truly matters. Yet, the words of the Lord’s Prayer remind us of a truth we can hold onto all year long:
“For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory forever. Amen.”
These words are more than a closing line; they are a profound declaration of who God is and how He reigns over every detail of our lives.
Thine is the kingdom. God’s rule is unshakable. In the midst of chaos or uncertainty, we can rest knowing His kingdom is eternal. Nothing—no schedule, no worry, no challenge—can undo His plan or His love.
Thine is the power. God’s strength is made perfect in our weakness. As we approach the holidays, we might feel stretched thin, carrying responsibilities and expectations. Yet God’s power meets us in our exhaustion, equips us for service, and sustains us in joy and in struggle.
Thine is the glory forever. God’s glory is visible in every act of love, every moment of kindness, and every way He transforms our lives. This season, may we take time to notice His glory—whether in a candlelit sanctuary, the laughter of family, or the quiet moments of prayer.
The holiday season is the perfect time to pause and reflect on these truths. As we decorate our homes, prepare special meals, and plan gatherings, we can do so with intentional hearts, remembering that all we have—our gifts, our talents, our time—comes from God. Every joyful song we sing, every hand we hold, every act of service is an opportunity to proclaim His kingdom, His power, and His glory to the world.
At [Church Name], we are excited to celebrate this season together, from Thanksgiving through Advent and into Christmas. We invite you to join us in worship, fellowship, and service as we lift our hearts in gratitude and anticipation, proclaiming with one voice:
“His is the kingdom. His is the power. His is the glory—forever and ever.”
May your holiday season be filled with joy, peace, and the profound reminder that God is always in control, always with us, and always worthy of our praise.
