Today is a day
called Black Friday. It’s called that for profitability but real darkness
occurs when we find ourselves confronted with our sin. Praise God He reigns and
restores! Let’s look at those two words, reigns and restores, and the Scripture
that goes with it.
The Lord
reigns: The Lord reigns, let the nations tremble; he sits
enthroned between the cherubim, let the earth shake. Great is the
Lord in Zion; he is exalted over all the nations. Let them praise
your great and awesome name—he is holy. The King is mighty, he loves
justice— you have established equity; in Jacob, you have
done what is just and right. Exalt the Lord our God and worship
at his footstool; he is holy. Moses and Aaron were among his priests; Samuel
was among those who called on his name; they called on the Lord and
he answered them. He spoke to them from the pillar of cloud; they
kept his statutes and the decrees he gave them. Lord our God, you
answered them; you were to Israel a forgiving God, though you
punished their misdeeds. Exalt the Lord our God and worship at his
holy mountain, for the Lord our God is holy. and worship at his holy
mountain, or the Lord our
God is holy. - Psalm 99
The Lord
restores: For you were once darkness, but now you
are light in the Lord. Live as children of light (for the
fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness
and truth) and find out what pleases the Lord. –Ephesians 5:8-10
How does this look
in your life?
Be restored and let God reign in your life; today and every day. Amen?
