Long Live the King
Psalm 72 is a rich prayer for Israel’s king and kingdom, which is so easily and clearly applied to Jesus, that it can beautifully shape our own prayers for the ultimate King and his ultimate Kingdom. We pray that Jesus and his kingdom are righteous, enduring, universal, compassionate and divinely blessed. We pray that our King would come and his kingdom with him. We pray that it will happen as God instills those virtues in our leaders and ourselves today. And then we seek to live what we pray and pursue what we hope for.
