Let the Earth Rejoice...👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Psalm 97:1 ● "The Lord reigns, let the earth rejoice; let the many coastlands be glad"

The LORD reigns;

Let the earth rejoice;

Let the multitude of isles be glad!

The LORD reigns: Like Psalm 93, this psalm begins suddenly and wonderfully with the proclamation of Yahweh’s rule. He is not a useless idol or local deity. Yahweh is not passive, nor the “watchmaker” who created all things and then left it alone. He reigns; the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob actively plans, acts, and rules over the universe.

The LORD reigns: “Here is a simple proposition, which is a self-evident axiom, and requires no proof: JEHOVAH is infinite and eternal; is possessed of unlimited power and unerring wisdom; as he is the Maker, so he must be the Governor, of all things. His authority is absolute, and his government therefore universal. In all places, on all occasions, and in all times, Jehovah reigns.”

Let the earth rejoice: Yahweh’s reign brings joy to the earth. We could imagine an evil or dark deity whose reign would bring terror. We see such in a limited sense, where men and devils are given room to exercise their wicked will. Yet the more Yahweh’s reign is obvious and observed, the more rejoicing there is, extending to the multitude of the isles, the most distant places.

Righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne: God's throne is not based on deception, bribery, the blood of conquest, or even hereditary right. The foundation of His throne is nothing else but righteousness and justice. This is why the earth can rejoice at His reign.

O Lord, God Almighty,

It is abundantly clear that God loves each and every one of us and that He does not want to lose even one of us. Father we acknowledge that God has clearly given each of us a choice to respond to His unfailing love for us and to walk faithly and righteously.

In His love once we have received our Salvation.

I pray that we all will walk in our inheritance daily, never to lose any part of our inheritance.

This is my prayer in tname of Christ Jesus...

Amen 🙏🏾
