It is shattered and split in several directions

It settles more firmly under his family line

It remains under the same authority it had before

Treat it as a trust, use it justly, and stay humble

Protect your position first, because lasting control is what keeps things safe

Use your influence mainly to secure your own future

Delay serving others until your authority feels permanent

If you would like to receive Jesus, pray this with me: Lord Jesus, I admit that I have sinned and trusted things that cannot hold me. I turn from my sin and from every false security. I believe you died for my sins and rose again. I confess you as Lord and ask you to rule my life with your lasting kingdom. Thank you for saving me. Amen.

Receive the King Who Cannot Be Shaken

Lord, revive your Church where we have trusted power, status, and human strength. Break our pride, loosen our grip on control, and teach us to live under your lasting rule. Make us a people who depend on your kingdom, not on what can be taken away, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Revive Your Unshakable People

Name one role, title, or responsibility you carry. Ask God to help you hold it loosely, serve with justice, and remember that every authority is temporary before him.

Pray for Humble Stewardship

Bring these to God: leaders and governments that need humility; systems that protect their own power; decisions that should serve justice rather than self-preservation.

For Leaders and Nations

Father, when I am given influence or success, keep me from pride and fear. Teach me to see every achievement as entrusted to me, not owned by me, and make me faithful where you have placed me, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Open Hands Before God

Bring these to God: gratitude that his rule does not break; thanks that earthly losses do not undo his purposes; praise that he can hand power away and still remain wise and faithful.

Thank You for a Kingdom That Endures
