Psalm 99
Psalm 99
The Lord reigns,
let the nations tremble;
he sits enthroned between the cherubim,
let the earth shake.
Great is the Lord in Zion;
he is exalted over all the nations.
Let them praise your great and awesome name—
he is holy.
The King is mighty, he loves justice—
you have established equity;
in Jacob you have done
what is just and right.
Exalt the Lord our God
and worship at his footstool;
he is holy.
Moses and Aaron were among his priests,
Samuel was among those who called on his name;
they called on the Lord
and he answered them.
He spoke to them from the pillar of cloud;
they kept his statutes and the decrees he gave them.
Lord our God,
you answered them;
you were to Israel a forgiving God,
though you punished their misdeeds.
Exalt the Lord our God
and worship at his holy mountain,
for the Lord our God is holy.
Throughout the centuries, God has been with us. He has watched over us. He has delivered us.
He came to this Earth and died for our sins. He served us and sacrificed Himself for us millennia ago.
And yet, echoes of His redemption and holiness are found throughout history.
For generations His people have praised Him and worshiped Him. They have pursued Him and been pursued by Him. For generations He has led His people through various hardships and trials.
He has been there, always.
Friends, He will continue to be there for us.
He will continue to guide us on the path of salvation if we tune ourselves to Him. If we take the time to be still and pursue Him with all of our hearts He promises us everything; He promises us salvation and a future with hope (Jeremiah 29:11).
Let us look to the generations of the past and take heart. He has always been there for His people and will continue to watch over us. His Holiness is the same today, yesterday and forever.
Let us continue to worship our Lord and Savior and pursue Him with all of our hearts. Let us look to the past and take courage from their victories and let us look to the future and stand firm in His salvation. Let us find rest in His holy splendor.

Sing to God, sing in praise of his name, extol him who rides on the clouds; rejoice before him — his name is the Lord. A father to the fatherless, a defender of widows, is God in his holy dwelling Psalm 68:4-5.
