“The mountains melt like wax before the LORD, before the Lord of all the earth.”
Psalm 37:5 (NIV)
As I read this psalm the old hymn “This is my Father’s world” comes to mind- especially the last verse –
“This is my Father’s world: Oh, let me ne’er forget That though the wrong seems oft so strong, God is the ruler yet. This is my Father’s world. The battle is not done: Jesus who died shall be satisfied, And earth and Heav’n be one.”
This psalm celebrates the present (happening right now) righteous rule of God over all His creation, calling on the earth to be glad because He reigns, describing a God who is too awesome for the earth to handle, and reminding us who believe in this wonderful sovereign God, that we should hate evil and rejoice in the Lord.
Is this rejoicing only for the good times, the times of victory and progress?
The faithful rejoice whether things are “good” or “bad” for we know that God will guard us, deliver us, shine His light on us and bring joy to our hearts.
Be glad – rejoice in the LORD today!
