day no. 16,736: a foreshadowing of the Lord's prayer

1 Chronicles 29:10-11
Therefore David blessed the LORD in the presence of all the assembly. And David said: “Blessed are you, O LORD, the God of Israel our father, forever and ever. Yours, O LORD, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the victory and the majesty, for all that is in the heavens and in the earth is yours. Yours is the kingdom, O LORD, and you are exalted as head above all.”

The kingdom belongs to Christ. He is the Head and to Him belong greatness, power, glory, victory, and majesty. He has all authority in heaven and on earth. David's kingly prayer points us to the greater David's kingly prayer:

Matthew 6:9-13
Our Father which art in heaven,
Hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done
in earth, as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts,
as we forgive our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil:
For thine is the kingdom, and the power,
and the glory, for ever.
Amen.

We pray for Christ's kingdom to come, not go.

We pray for His reign to cover every other thing wherever it is.

We confess His kingdom and power and glory as eternal.

David's prayer foreshadowed Christ. 
Christ's prayer foreshadows Christendom.
