Your majestic name fills the earth

Here's where the rubber meets the road. Paul wrote this, "Therefore, since we have been made right in  God's sight by faith, we have peace with God because of what Jesus Christ our Lord has done for us. ...We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they will help us develop endurance. And endurance develops strength of character, and character strengthens our confident hope of salvation. And this hope will not lead to disappointment."

When the rain falls, repeat with me, "O Lord, our Lord, your majestic name fills the earth!"
When the pain comes, repeat with me, "O Lord, our Lord, your majestic name fills the earth!"
When the suffering is too much for your body, your mind, your heart, "O Lord, our Lord, your majestic name fills the earth!"
When the moment is too big, when the reflection too deep, the hope too shallow, "O Lord, our Lord, your majestic name fills the earth!"

This morning in some hospital bed, there's a person awaiting radiation or chemo therapy or maybe just the diagnosis.
"O Lord, our Lord, your majestic name fills the earth!"

This morning in some funeral home, there's a person awaiting a cost of a funeral for someone who did the bills in the family, "O Lord, our Lord, your majestic name fills the earth!"

This morning there's a person in danger of losing his or her job, of losing his or her family, of losing..."O Lord, our Lord, your majestic name fills the earth!"

So says the Psalmist this dark, dark morning.

He continues: "I will praise you, Lord, with all my heart; I will tell of all the marvelous things you have done."

We continue in this life to have trouble, but the Lord has overcome. We continue in this life to have fear, but the Lord has overcome. We continue in this life to have life in all its variables and worries.

"O Lord, our Lord, your majestic name fills the earth!"

The only difference between Christians and the world is when we're knocked down, we get back up.

"O Lord, our Lord, your majestic name fills the earth!" "O Lord, our Lord, your majestic name fills the earth!""O Lord, our Lord, your majestic name fills the earth!"
