Devotional Reading:
Matthew 4:8

Matthew 4:7-9 (in Context) 
Devotional Question:
For What Purpose Did God Create Us?
For Our Pleasure? Or His? Our Kingdom? His Kingdom?

Did You Know?

There is a plethora of scripture passages that help describe how the Kingdom of God is quite different than any Kingdom "...of the world." In fact, the word kingdom is mentioned most on this topic, second only in quantity to such passages which teach "who" receives, inherits, enters, merits, or belongs to the Kingdom of God.
