Psalm 97
Psalm 97
The Lord reigns, let the earth be glad;
let the distant shores rejoice.
Clouds and thick darkness surround him;
righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.
Fire goes before him
and consumes his foes on every side.
His lightning lights up the world;
the earth sees and trembles.
The mountains melt like wax before the Lord,
before the Lord of all the earth.
The heavens proclaim his righteousness,
and all peoples see his glory.
All who worship images are put to shame,
those who boast in idols—
worship him, all you gods!
Zion hears and rejoices
and the villages of Judah are glad
because of your judgments, Lord.
For you, Lord, are the Most High over all the earth;
you are exalted far above all gods.
Let those who love the Lord hate evil,
for he guards the lives of his faithful ones
and delivers them from the hand of the wicked.
Light shines on the righteous
and joy on the upright in heart.
Rejoice in the Lord, you who are righteous,
and praise his holy name
With so much pain in the world, let us take today to be glad. Let us rejoice in the King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
Let us be still in all His glory.
Let us pursue Him with all our hearts and all our souls. Let us seek first His kingdom and His righteousness.
Let us not seek idols; let us not run after the things of this world. Instead, let us " run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith....Hebrews 12:1-2
How blessed we are to have a God that came to this world to save us. How astounding that the Maker of the World came to die for us....How incredible that He endured the cross for us...that He endured so much pain.
He did all of that for us.
And now, He sits in Heaven, longing to lead us and carry us through this messy life. He wants to guide us - all we have to do is be still and look to Him.
In all these things, let us rejoice. Let us rejoice in our Redeemer. Let us rejoice in our Savior. Let us rejoice in the King of Glory who sits on high and desires nothing but wholehearted devotion.
Let us pursue Him with all of our hearts; let us rejoice in the One that pursued us first.
