so that all the peoples of the earth may know

1 Kings 8-9, Luke 20

8:41 "In the future, foreigners who do not belong to your people Israel will hear of you. They will come from distant lands because of your name, 42 for they will hear of your great name and your strong hand and your powerful arm. And when they pray toward this Temple, 43 then hear from heaven where you live, and grant what they ask of you. In this way, all the people of the earth will come to know and fear you, just as your own people Israel do. They, too, will know that this Temple I have built honors your name. ... 60 Then people all over the earth will know that the Lord alone is God and there is no other.

Heavenly Father, I pray that my life will be a testimony of your Name.  May my body be a pure and holy temple, filled with the presence of your Holy Spirit, and may you be honored as I live a life of sacrifice to you.  I pray that other people will be able to see and experience the love of Jesus Christ through me, so that all nations may know you and experience your goodness and love.  I pray in the name of Jesus Christ.  Amen.
