The LORD reigns, let the earth rejoice;
let the many coastlands be glad!
Psalm 97:1
Reflecting on a God Who is worthy of my praise this morning takes conscious effort. Even as I meditate I am reminded He is always great and worthy of my whole-hearted worship. I have most of my cup of coffee in my belly and my sleep fog has lifted. I glance outside through the sliding glass door and see the first inklings of an eastern dawn as trees begin to silhouette against the graying horizon. I seek to work past the depressing news story that first greeted me when I unplugged my phone from the charger on the nightstand: A new variant of the corona virus is less affected by vaccines in the UK. All the noise and bad news of a sin cursed world needs to fade, and like the rising sun, worship needs to rise and bring my heart gladness again!
In the night, the LORD reigns. And as dawn enlightens this cold February morning, so this truth lights up my soul. In the uncertainty, the LORD reigns. Through these times as sin, sickness, and death still permeate the globe, there is a hope beyond this present sorrow. Jesus came and brought relief from all this! Rejoice now Christian! Your God reigns! Over this globe, our God reigns. The universe is His kingdom. And commitment to receiving, exploring, and announcing the Kingdom of our Christ is still my call today, no matter what. Reign, Lord Jesus, in me and across the globe to every coast.
The LORD reigns. Weary world... rejoice in Your King Who can strengthen you, heal you, comfort you, take away your fear, forgive your sin, and bless you with life forever in Him. O my soul believe it... the LORD reigns.
