Psalms 68 is a display of God's majesty. His power (v.4) and His mercy (v. 5) are on an eye level shelf so that everyone can see. The earth and the heavens have to submit to God (v. 8). Kings (v. 14) and nations (v. 31) bow down to God. In front of God are thousands of chariots (v. 17) and many singers (v. 25). God's majesty is real! He gives us new mercies every morning (Lamentations 3:22-23). Take some time today to look around at God's handiwork. Psalms 69 reveals a man who is under intense persecution for his faith in God. V. 19 says he is "scorned, disgraced and shamed." When we serve God fully, we will be persecuted. In fact, Christ promises it will be like this for believers. But take heart! Christ says we should rejoice in these trials for our reward in heaven will be great (Matthew 5:11-12).
I am a big fan of Romans 8:1! We should all take joy that in Christ, we are no longer left with condemnation. Our sins have been forgiven and wiped clean! However, do we live like we believe this? If we do, I am convinced there will be less gloomy faces found in our church houses.
