Ps. 11:4 But the LORD is in
his holy temple, the LORD still rules from heaven. He searches everything closely, examining
everyone on earth.
The Lord is in His holy
temple. Lest we forget it, the Lord our
God is holy and He is surrounded by only that which is holy. Holiness is His dwelling place. We dare not lose the significance of this
truth to our souls! The Lord will not
tolerate anything less than holiness in His presence. He cannot not. It behooves us therefore to always strive to
live holy lives and the only way we can do that is to live under the holiness
of Christ.
The Lord rules from
heaven. There is nothing outside the
realm of His rule. He created all
things, orders their existence, and controls their destiny. There is nothing that can ever wrestle
anything from His control over them. All
things exist by His permission and for His purposes.
He searches everything
closely to ensure that everything continues to function properly until He comes
to change everything. From the greatest
to the smallest display of His creative genius, He watches over them and keeps
them going. Without the Lord's hand on
His creation, life would not exist.
He examines everyone on
earth. Nothing anyone does escapes His
notice. He knows everyone's heart. He knows the righteousness and sin that is
there. He knows the intent of the heart,
whether it's to glorify self or Him. He
knows whether or not we are cooperating with Him to fulfill His plans for us or
not. He knows whether or not we are fit
for heaven.
Dear friend, do not
think for one moment that you are not being watched from heaven. No one is going to have any excuse for not
obeying the Lord. He has given us very
clear guidelines to follow in order to make it to heaven. The issue becomes then whether or not we are
submitted to Him. If Jesus is not your
Lord now, He will be on Judgment Day.
Every knee will bow before Him and declare Him to be Lord, whether they
want to or not. Are you living in Christ
today?
