Psalm 76
Psalm 76
God is renowned in Judah;
in Israel his name is great.
His tent is in Salem,
his dwelling place in Zion.
There he broke the flashing arrows,
the shields and the swords, the weapons of war.
You are radiant with light,
more majestic than mountains rich with game.
The valiant lie plundered,
they sleep their last sleep;
not one of the warriors
can lift his hands.
At your rebuke, God of Jacob,
both horse and chariot lie still.
It is you alone who are to be feared.
Who can stand before you when you are angry?
From heaven you pronounced judgment,
and the land feared and was quiet—
when you, God, rose up to judge,
to save all the afflicted of the land.
Surely your wrath against mankind brings you praise,
and the survivors of your wrath are restrained.
Make vows to the Lord your God and fulfill them;
let all the neighboring lands
bring gifts to the One to be feared.
He breaks the spirit of rulers;
he is feared by the kings of the earth.
He is radiant.
His glory is to be feared and praised. His majesty knows no bounds.
When unrest encircles us, when fear overwhelms us - we can look to His radiance. When we are uncertain and unsure of ourselves, His radiance will guide us.
He is a light onto our path (Psalm 119:105).
He keeps His promises and makes a way for us; illuminating the path ahead and showering us in His abundant love.
In a world of chaos, it is quite something to be able to look to a radiant and mighty God. In a world of worry and fear, it is truly humbling to be able to bow before His radiant mercy.
Though this world is filled with so much pain and brokenness, we have Someone perfect to look towards. We have a way out of this darkness and into His marvelous Light.
We have a radiant Lord and Savior watching over us every step of the way.
