What Is Your Kingdom Like?--Nov.3, 2016

I wait in silence for you, O God;

from you comes my salvation.

What is your kingdom like?

It is not full of demonic spirits

that go abroad to seed oppression,

that do not listen to your voice,

or accept correction, or trust

in you, or draw near to you.

Your kingdom is like a tiny

seed that grows into a tree,

and the birds build nests in it.

Ps. 62:1

For God alone my soul waits in silence;
          from him comes my salvation. 

Zeph. 3:1-2

Ah, soiled, defiled,
     oppressing city!
It has listened to no voice;
     it has accepted no correction.
It has not trusted in the LORD;
     it has not drawn near to its God.

Rev. 16:14

These are demonic spirits, performing signs, who go abroad to the kings of the whole world, to assemble them for battle on the great day of God the Almighty. 

Luke 13:18-19

[Jesus] said therefore, "What is the kingdom of God like?  And to what should I compare it?   It is like a mustard seed that someone took and sowed in the garden; it grew and became a tree, and the birds of the air made nests in its branches."
