God’s Glory Shines Everywhere!
Psalm 103:19
The Lord has established his throne in the heavens, and his kingdom rules over all.
Revelation 19:6-7
Then I heard what seemed to be the voice of a great multitude, like the sound of many waters and like the sound of mighty thunder-peals, crying out, ‘Hallelujah! For the Lord our God the Almighty reigns. Let us rejoice and exult and give him the glory, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and his bride has made herself ready.’
Words of Grace For Today
When the evil of those who are entrusted to be just and honest and good reaches arbitrarily into so many lives, destroying the old and the young alike, then we have pause to wonder:
Is God at all listening, watching, caring at all?!
Our travails are no greater than many humans have experienced through history. Truth is they are not as great as so many. We read the witness left by those who suffered so much more than we do today.
The witnesses through the generations are clear, wondrous and sure:
God has established God’s throne in the heavens, and God’s kingdom rules over all.
There will be many days that Evil will drive us to doubt God’s love, God’s promises and God’s deliverance. On those days, in those moments, the witnesses that have gone before us bring us back to trust the power of God, the Almighty, the All-Knowing, and the All-Loving.
We can join the chorus crying: ‘Hallelujah! For the Lord our God the Almighty reigns. Let us rejoice and exult and give him the glory!’
We, too, give witness for the generations that follow us, that God has given God’s heart to us in love, with a love that created us, rescues us, and sustains us!
No matter what comes our way with hearts filled with wonder we know that God has given us all lives of great challenge, love, and adventure!
