Psalm 97:1 (NKJV) 1 The Lord reigns; Let the earth rejoice; Let the multitude of isles be glad!
God created the world we live in. All around us is beauty. And it is full of life. Everything has movement.
The Bible says to let all the earth rejoice!
When is the last time we rejoiced?
With all the negativity and corruption we see in the world, it seems so hard to find it in our hearts to rejoice.
The other day I was feeling downhearted, thinking of how far backwards we have gone here in the USA, and even in other nations. The things we have allowed in are shameful. I felt we have lost ground because of it.
But as I looked outside, God began to show me the life that is all around us in the things He created. And these things are here for us to look at each day.
There is so much life in the trees. Here in the Northeastern United States, the leaves are so beautiful this time of year.
Or, no matter where you are, when you look up at the sky, the birds are flying and the clouds are moving.
We can look at the ground. The grass is growing. The fields are full of flowers blossoming. The sea is roaring, and the rivers are flowing.
Oh, my goodness; such life and beauty that no person can stop or control.
I got up from my downtrodden state of heart and said, “I praise You God. You are alive in everything around us!!”
We can’t give up.
We need to be alive too. We need to stay in that place of rejoicing and not let evil or darkness try to rob us of our joy!
They can’t touch God’s hand. His work, His majestic creation…. they can’t touch or change it. Such life flows from all of it.
Hallelujah! Shout with us today, because if we don’t, Jesus says in Luke… the rocks will cry out.
Luke 19:40 (NKJV) 40 But He answered and said to them, “I tell you that if these should keep silent, the stones would immediately cry out.”
We praise You, Lord God. You are alive in all that is around us! Amen.
