You, O Lord, rule forever; Your throne is from generation to generation. Lamentations 5:19 NASB
Your throne, O God, is forever and ever; A scepter of uprightness is the scepter of Your kingdom. You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness; Therefore God, Your God, has anointed You With the oil of joy above Your fellows.
Psalms 45:6-7 NASB
Are you anointed with the oil of joy?
There is much joy to be found in knowing God is eternally seated on His throne. Our God who rules in righteousness and justice and love.
On awakening this morning and checking on the hurricane hitting the Louisiana and Texas coast, I read “this could have been so much worse”. Were you praying for the people in the path of this storm? God answered prayer. It may not have been the way we wanted but it was better than expected. Did you thank Him for His mercy in this situation?
As numbers seem to be rising in Covid cases, are you turning to, relying on the One who sits upon the eternal throne? God has this. Are you abiding in His strong tower? Is He your refuge?
But You, O Lord, abide forever, And Your name to all generations.
Psalms 102:12 NASB
God is your only hope in a world seeking their own way, truth and life. Jesus is the only way, truth and life and no one comes to the throne of the Father but by Him. Can you rejoice in that? Can you enter into the Holy of holies and bow before the throne? If not it is time to bow down in surrender to God and His will. That is where real joy is found even when everything around you is falling down.
“But You are the same, And Your years will not come to an end.
Psalms 102:27 NASB
Hallelujah!
🌹The joy of the Lord is our strength.
Continually Seeking Him,
Sharon
