God is a safe place to hide, ready to help when we need him. We stand fearless at the cliff-edge of doom, courageous in seastorm and earthquake, Before the rush and roar of oceans, the tremors that shift mountains. Jacob-wrestling God fights for us, God of angel armies protects us. River fountains splash joy, cooling God's city, this sacred haunt of the Most High. God lives here, the streets are safe, God at your service from crack of dawn. Godless nations rant and rave, kings and kingdoms threaten, but Earth does anything he says. Jacob-wrestling God fights for us, God of angel armies protects us. Attention, all! See the marvels of God! He plants flowers and trees all over the earth, Bans war from pole to pole, breaks all the weapons across his knee. "Step out of the traffic! Take a long, loving look at me, your High God, above politics, above everything." Jacob-wrestling God fights for us, God of angel armies protects us.(Psalm 46 The Message)
Before this last presidential election, the memes on social media kept saying, "It Matters Not Who Our President Is, Jesus is Still Our King!" Amen to that. Interesting though, this psalm is written by a king, but a king who knew his place in the order of things. If ever there were a king who knew the True King, it was King David. He knew Who had the real power, the real strength, the control of all things, and that was God. And so should we. The language of The Message version of the Bible speaks an assurance and an affirmation of the God in Whom we believe. All we could ever or possibly need is found in God.
We don't have to wait until Sunday to proclaim that Jesus is the King of Kings! It starts now in our hearts and minds; it should carry over to our actions and words. We serve an awesome King, so let everyone know!
PRAYER: Loving God, Come into my heart as King and Lord. Save me from my sins, restore me to life and give me life to the fullest. Help the words of my mouth be those that glorify You and bring others to a deep knowledge of You. I pray in Christ Jesus' strong name, amen.
Have a great and blessed day in the Lord!
