Unless you live under a rock, I’m sure you heard about the romance and wedding of Prince Harry and Megan Markle. Not only the USA but the entire world has followed their courtship, whirlwind romance and finally their highly anticipated wedding.
According to Forbes.com, “29 million people tuned in to the wedding across 15 different broadcast and cable networks. That represents a bit less than a tenth of all U.S. residents. They go on to say, “though if you were following the wedding on social media you probably figured every person in the country had a vested interest in whether Meghan wore this designer or not.”
So, when they say, “the world is watching,” in this case they meant it literally. I didn’t watch the wedding, but I did watch some highlights and playbacks the following day. Many people I know held wedding watch parties. Tons of people American and British got up at the crack of dawn, hoping not to miss one second of the impending nuptials. The world was as they say, “tuned in.”
That got me thinking, what if as many people all over the globe were that “tuned in,” to God’s word? What if 29 million people made it their business to live just one day in anticipation of Christ’s return? What if a bit less than a tenth of all U.S. residents lived by, loved and shared the good news of Jesus Christ? I would say that would be quite a feat and certainly a blessing.
With that many people willing to watch a royal wedding, with absolutely nothing to gain from it; I wonder how many are not only willing but would make it their business to stay tuned in to the things of God and His purpose for their lives, when there is eternal life and so much more to gain.
Matthew 6:33 (NKJV) But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.
Think about it.

Well what was great about the wedding is how the preacher talked about marriage how God intended it to be and also how he basically preached the gospel. It was pretty awesome to know that so many people were watching when he was talking about Jesus! Who knows how many people were influenced by that!
