Psalm<br>103: 19<\/strong><\/em><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While the full context of Psalm 103 is unknown, what is clear is that David spends time blessing<br>the Lord and remembering all His benefits. He lists some of the benefits such as forgiveness,<br>restored health, deliverance, love, satisfaction, and renewed energy. David also recalls the Lord\u2019s<br>righteous deeds and justice, and examines humanity\u2019s fleeting life.\u00a0 God is sovereign. His throne<br>is settled in the heavens, and His kingdom has power. David concludes with a call to the Lord\u2019s<br>angels and all His creation to praise Him. He addresses his closing words to his soul,<br>commanding his soul to praise the Lord.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br>Today\u2019s verse declares that the Lord has established his throne in the heavens, and His kingdom<br>rules overall. This reminds us of the enduring sovereignty and majesty of God\u2019s Kingdom.\u00a0God\u2019s<br>sovereignty is not fleeting, temporary or uncertain, but firmly established in the heavenly realms.<br>His throne symbolizes His authority, majesty, and rulership over all creation. This truth reminds<br>us that God is not a distant deity, but a reigning King intimately involved in our lives and world.\u00a0<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Over time, we have seen kings and kingdoms come and go.\u00a0Many believed that they are worthy<br>of honour and homage is to be paid.\u00a0They did not hold to the principle that God is Sovereign and<br>His reign is forever.\u00a0When this occurs, corruption and poor judgment sets in.\u00a0Eventually, those<br>kingdoms crumble. As we contemplate deeper this theme of God\u2019s Kingdom, we must open our<br>hearts and minds to receive the wisdom and grace that God offers through His word.\u00a0We are<br>encouraged to hold fast to God\u2019s Kingdom with humility and reverence and awe.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br>We note that God\u2019s throne is established in the heavens.\u00a0It is beyond the limitations of time and<br>space. These eternal characteristics of God\u2019s Kingdom reassures us of His steadfastness and<br>faithfulness in every season of life.\u00a0God\u2019s Kingdom is above all kingdoms, eternal, enduring,<br>powerful.\u00a0It is like nothing we have ever seen. Whenever we reflect on God\u2019s Kingdom with the<br>awe and reverence it deserves, our entire outlook on life changes. We would stop thinking of this<br>world as our kingdom, and we would take the focus off ourselves and humbly place the focus on<br>the all-powerful God of the universe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br>Today\u2019s Watchword also proclaims that God\u2019s kingdom rules overall. God\u2019s rule extends over<br>the entire universe. Nothing is outside the scope of His authority, and His purposes are ultimately<br>fulfilled according to His divine plan. We also see in this verse the active reign of God\u2019s<br>kingdom, extending beyond mere existence to governance. God\u2019s rule is comprehensive,<br>touching every aspect of creation, from the stars in the sky to the intricacies of our daily lives.<br>This rule encompasses justice, righteousness, and love, offering hope and stability in a world<br>often marked by turmoil and uncertainty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br>What becomes our appropriate response? Jesus says it best in Matthew 6:33 \u2013 \u201cBut seek first the<br>kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.\u201d We must prioritize God\u2019s kingdom above all else. This means aligning our priorities, values, and actions with God\u2019s will and purposes. May God help us so to do.<strong> Amen.<\/strong><br><strong><em>Jermaine<\/em><\/strong> <em><strong>Gibson<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Lord has established his throne in the heavens, and his kingdom rules over all.
