1 CHRONICLES 16:1-43
Some days everything just seems right. With God, these days are simply when He is enthroned in your life and mine. In the beautiful song of praise, the singers proclaim, “The LORD Reigns!”. Why? The ark was where it should be and the Law guided the hearts, minds and actions of the people and their king.
When God is in His place in me, I have joy
Oh give thanks to the LORD; call upon his name; make known his deeds among the peoples! Sing to him, sing praises to him; tell of all his wondrous works! Glory in his holy name; let the hearts of those who seek the LORD rejoice! 1 Chronicles 16:8-10
rely on His strength, find your peace
For God to truly reign in me, self-denial is a must. My strength is insufficient and actually gets in the way of joy. Like David and his nation, the church needs Christ Jesus as the head and simply do as He has called us to do. Benevolence and worship go hand-in-hand.
sensing His strength brings a sense of His presence
The LORD reigns in me and His joy is my strength. His strength overcomes my struggles and persecutions and I can know true peace. At peace with God and man I can focus and begin to see He has been with me all along. The LORD is in His holy temple.
With this joy, all I can do is praise Him
Sing to the LORD, all the earth! Tell of his salvation from day to day. Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous works among all the peoples! For great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised, and he is to be feared above all gods. For all the gods of the peoples are worthless idols, but the LORD made the heavens. Splendor and majesty are before him; strength and joy are in his place. Ascribe to the LORD, O families of the peoples, ascribe to the LORD glory and strength! Ascribe to the LORD the glory due his name; bring an offering and come before him! Worship the LORD in the splendor of holiness; tremble before him, all the earth; yes, the world is established; it shall never be moved. Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice, and let them say among the nations, “The LORD reigns!” 1 Chronicles 16:23-31
I am His holy temple
