The Old Testament is full of individuals that were operating under the government of God's kingdom. It's amazing that even before Jesus came into the world, God's spirit was leading people and He was revealing the values and culture of His kingdom. We can be encouraged through the examples in the Old Testament that God loves His people.
It's important to know and experience His kingdom through reflection and seeking after it. We know that in order to become good or skilled in something we have to be willing to learn about it and to practice what we are learning in order for it to become our lifestyle. We as new covenant believers have all we need to discover and know about God and His kingdom. When we yield our heart to His kingdom we are empowered and encouraged in life.
