2 Clouds and darkness are round about him: righteousness and judgment are the habitation of his throne.
3 A fire goeth before him, and burneth up his enemies round about.
4 His lightnings enlightened the world: the earth saw, and trembled.
5 The hills melted like wax at the presence of the LORD, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.
6 The heavens declare his righteousness, and all the people see his glory.
7 Confounded be all they that serve graven images, that boast themselves of idols: worship him, all ye gods.
8 Zion heard, and was glad; and the daughters of Judah rejoiced because of thy judgments, O LORD.
9 For thou, LORD, art high above all the earth: thou art exalted far above all gods.
10 Ye that love the LORD, hate evil: he preserveth the souls of his saints; he delivereth them out of the hand of the wicked.
11 Light is sown for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart.
12 Rejoice in the LORD, ye righteous; and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.
Key Verse:
1 The LORD reigneth; let the earth rejoice; let the multitude of isles be glad thereof.
Key Observation:
A millennial psalm. A celebration of earth toward their ruling Lord.
Memory Verse:
6 The heavens declare his righteousness, and all the people see his glory.
Devotion:
This is a great psalm of celebration of the ruling of the Lord on the earth. Notice that Zion “heard and was glad”. Israel is to receive all of the promises of God; not one good thing that He promised will He withhold. Today, as I write this, Palestine is seeking recognition before the UN, and world pressure is being brought against Israel. The US is backing Israel this time, but almost reluctantly, and even the US will seek to bring great pressure on Israel to give up their lands. The Bible clearly states that Israel will be surrounded by enemies on every side, and I cannot help but wonder if this so-called “Arab Spring” is not going to result in a massive movement against Israel. It does seem as if the time of “the Blessed Hope” is near.
At any rate, we are called to use our days wisely, and let us do so. If the Lord tarries, I have hopes and prayers to be used to evangelize in a manner similar to what He blessed us with in our younger lives. Judgment will come upon the earth; the very hills will seem to melt says the psalmest. What manner of people should we be, since we know these things are at hand?
No Shortage
There's no shortage on God's mercy, no shortage on God's love.
There's a shortage on corn, a shortage on wheat. Got a shortage on beans, a shortage on meat. The things that are needed we just can't hardly buy. Why there's even a shortage on air in the sky.
But I know a great thing there's no shortage of. There's no shortage on God's mercy, no shortage on God's love.
There's a shortage on fuel, a shortage on gas. Got a shortage on wood, a shortage on glass. The things that we've wasted are now precious to buy. Well there's even a shortage on air in the sky.
But I know a great thing there's no shortage of. There's no shortage on God's mercy, no shortage on God's love.
God is love and mercy unending. His precious love will leave you no doubt. When from Satan you need defending, God has supplies that will never run out.
There's a shortage on friendship, a shortage on smiles. Got a shortage on neighbors, though they're millions for miles. Thank heaven for one thing there's no shortage of.
There's no shortage on God's mercy, no shortage on God's love.(x2)
