my king
There are times when we cannot seem to find a reason to
rejoice. Times when questions and doubts are easier to find than
answers. Nevertheless, the Psalmist's admonition remains
appropriate. No matter what the circumstance, the Lord reigns;
that, in itself, is reason enough to rejoice. As believers, we
must remind ourselves of the sovereignty of our God. If we know
that God is concerned about His own glory, and that He created us
to bring Him glory, then we can rejoice in the fact that whatever
comes our way, whether triumph or trial, God will cause Himself to
be glorified, and we get to play a part. This is only good news if
we seek the glory of God above all else. Otherwise, the reign of
the Lord is not something to rejoice in, or be glad about, but
rather something to be feared. If I am the King, then the reign of
another threatens me, but if I am a loyal subject in the kingdom
of another, Voddie Baucham
The Lord reigns, let the earth rejoice; let the people be glad.
