Father, when life seems hopelessly unjust, You remind us:
The Lord is in His holy temple.
Let all the earth be silent before Him. (Habakkuk 2:20, NASB)
Your temple reminds us that You are holy –
perfect in all Your words,
Your actions,
Your wisdom,
Your timing.
Your temple reminds us of Your presence
with us and
in us.
We are Your temple.
No matter how viciously evil threatens us, Almighty God,
You never leave us alone.
So even when our world seems so very wrong, we remember:
The Lord is in His holy temple.
When our lives fill with problems and turmoil, Father, You remind us:
The Lord has established His throne in the heavens,
And His sovereignty rules over all. (Psalm 103:19, NASB)
Your throne suggests
Your power,
Your control,
Your unfailing goodness.
You are our stability.
You are our unshakable certainty
in this sea of change.
You are perfect strength
in all our weakness.
All reality bows to You, our Savior, our King, our loving Father.
So in this wicked, unstable world, we look to You and remember:
The Lord is in His holy temple;
the Lord’s throne is in heaven. (Psalm 11:4, NASB)
Father, how do we praise You for
all You are and
all You do?
Where do we start?
Your greatness and goodness encompass
all we are and
all we experience.
