Silent and majestic

Psalm 24:1-2 NKJV

The earth is the LORD's, and all its fullness, The world and those who dwell therein. [2] For He has founded it upon the seas, And established it upon the waters.

It's important to remember that, in the midst of our busy days, when all seems chaotic and messy, there are places that are silent and majestic, displaying the handiwork of our great Creator God.

We can be forgiven for thinking that darkness is winning, but the earth is the Lord's - He owns it. There are virgin places where His glory still shines as when He first spoke all things into being.

Ultimately, He WILL reclaim it, remake it anew.

Through Jesus it is twice His - His through Creation and His through Redemption. He made it and He bought it back, paying with it in His own lifeblood.

This fact will keep us grounded through the hardest of times.

When satanic voices scream violence and hatred, God's Voice is louder, stronger, bolder - He screams out love and forgiveness above the baying crowd.

Hear again the Voice from the Cross:

Luke 23:34 NKJV

Then Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do." And they divided His garments and cast lots.

It's easy to get upset with the ignorance of crowds. Jesus faced them in His Passion. Most of those didn't know what they were shouting about when they called for Him to be crucified. They were simply swept along with the evil influencers. Honestly, crowds are mostly mindless!

Step back from the noise and hear the Voice, the only voice that counts.

Psalm 24:3-10 NKJV

Who may ascend into the hill of the LORD? Or who may stand in His holy place? [4] He who has clean hands and a pure heart, Who has not lifted up his soul to an idol, Nor sworn deceitfully. [5] He shall receive blessing from the LORD, And righteousness from the God of his salvation. [6] This is Jacob, the generation of those who seek Him, Who seek Your face. Selah [7] Lift up your heads, O you gates! And be lifted up, you everlasting doors! And the King of glory shall come in. [8] Who is this King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, The LORD mighty in battle. [9] Lift up your heads, O you gates! Lift up, you everlasting doors! And the King of glory shall come in. [10] Who is this King of glory? The LORD of hosts, He is the King of glory. Selah

It starts with opening the doors of our minds and the gates of our hearts to welcome in the King of glory - personally.
