FORGET NOT 9

Psalm 103:19-22

One of the things that we observe from the latter part of Psalm 103 is that God rules from heaven over us. We like to think that are in charge, but if Jesus is our Savior, He must be in charge of our lives. He cannot be just our Savior, He must be our Lord as well. And when you stop to think about it, it makes no sense to have it any other way.

Jesus is in heaven today seated at the right hand of God. 19 You can’t beat His perspective. He sees it all. He sees our past, present, and future. He knows better than we do what our lives are all about. He can work all things out for our good (Rom. 8:28) because He sees what we don’t. He knows how to use our moments to fit into greater plan of making us better version of ourselves. When we let Him be in charge, He makes something beautiful out of us and our lives.

Jesus reigns over us through God’s Word. 20 God’s Word is our blueprint for living. In Psalm 119 we find a treasure chest of full of reasons why the Word is important to us. Everything God needs for us to know in order to live a victorious life in Christ is found in God’s Word. God makes it very clear who we are, what we are up against, and why we need Jesus every moment of every day.

Jesus reigns over us as we find and do His will. 21 In it’s simplest form, God’s will is that we would live holy lives before Him. Everything else flows from that. What we do in service to the Lord doesn’t matter if we aren’t holy in heart. Holiness of heart is made possible only as we live under the lordship of Christ.

Jesus reigns over us so let us praise our God and King. 21 There is no greater life to live than to live with praise and thanksgiving on our hearts to our God. If your heart is not full of praise and thanksgiving, you are not living the life God created you to live in Christ Jesus. “Turn your eyes upon Jesus. Look full in His wonderful face. And the things of earth will grow strangely dim, in the light of His glory and grace.
