At His Throne (Psalms 47:8-9)

Today's scripture: Psalm 47:8-9

Days like today make me long even more for the day when I can bow before God’s throne and bask in His presence. When I feel particularly weak or when the pain is particularly intense, I picture myself face down in humble reverence, just whispering His name over and over. Pain-free with supernatural strength to serve Him.

And one day, all of us who follow Christ—“the people of the God of Abraham”—will gather together at His throne.

We’ll life our voices in praise. We’ll exalt His name. We’ll worship, lifting holy hands.

When this fallen world gives you one too many moments of stress, when the pain is unbearable, when a relationship breaks your heart … picture yourself in the presence of your Lord God. Picture yourself surrounded by all your brothers and sisters, just praising God.

One day, that’s exactly where you’ll be. Exactly where I’ll be.

Oh, Lord Jesus, come quickly.
