Thoughts for another day

April 14, 2009.

Today's verse: 1 Ps. 47:7,8. For God is the King of all the earth: sing ye praises with understanding. God reigneth over the heathen: God sitteth upon the throne of his holiness. (KJV)
(Pls. read the above before you read further. Thanks)

Move back into your mind and visualize the scene above. God dressed in splendor and beauty, actually not dressed for God doesn’t wear splendor or beauty the way we do, but He is beauty and splendor. And He sits on a resplendent throne, such as is not seen on earth and His domain is Holiness and power. As He sits on the throne, people from all nations, a vast and countless crowd, throngs before Him on their knees and worships Him.

What you just visualized, the psalmist by the inspiration of the Spirit of God also did as an eventual happening, when God will take control of the earth by His awesome power and might and in the course of it, destroy the enemy of souls; and death and all evil. When this will happen, none knows, no, not even the Son of God except the Father and the Father at that time will, in the midst of tribulation, gather His children, that is you and me who have believed in His Son, under His wings and keep us safe.

When I think of this, two things happen. One, my eyes become moist for I can’t help but think of God’s mercy, Who, despite our blemishes, draws us to Himself, reclaiming us as His own; and two, I am filled with awe at the glorious and majestic splendor of our God, who reigns in such awesome grandeur that I can’t even perceive it as my mind is too small to think of such big things. Nevertheless, I can visualize it in a human way and am filled with delight that my God, my Abba, will reign in glory. And you know what, the Lamb of God, the Holy and living Son of God, will lead both you and me to our mansions on High prepared for us by Him beside His own, claiming us as His bride. Such wonder fills my heart that I yearn for His coming…Soon.
