The LORD Reigns!

 The glory of the Lord shines from the heavens above through a myriad of twinkling stars. The greatness of God is witnessed on earth, and the skill of His hand is expressed by the many dancing blossoms and verdant leaves of God's great creative power - or simply through the blush of color that shines on a butterfly's wing.
 But it is not only the heavens that are called to be glad, and the earth to rejoice below, but the Psalmist is encouraging all men everywhere to speak of the glory of God. The people of God and the nations of the world are encouraged to proclaim the wonders of His name and to cry aloud together, "The LORD Reigns!"
 Let us give thanks to the Lord, call upon His name. Let us make known His deeds among the peoples. Let us sing praises to Him and speak of all His wonders. Let us glorify in His holy name and let the hearts of those who seek the Lord be glad. Seek the Lord with all our hearts, minds, souls and strength. Seek His face continually and remember His wonderful deeds which He has done.
Let the heavens rejoice, let the earth be glad; let them say among the nations, “The LORD reigns!”

Our United Prayer:
Praise Your name, O Lord most high. We glorify your wonderful creative powers, but we wonder more at the amazing grace that You have shown to us in dying for us on Calvary’s cross. We pray that You will use us to tell all the glories of Your name, in the places where You have planted us. In Jesus’ name we pray, AMEN.
