Psalm 47: God is King!

For God is the King of all the earth;
sing to him a psalm of praise. God reigns over the nations;
God is seated on his holy throne. (Psalm 47:7, 8 NIV)

It is confusing to know that here on the earth now God is present and in control ultimately but the fullness of his kingdom and will is not yet here. For he reigns from heaven now and yet the time is coming when there will be a new heaven and new earth and God will reign on the earth with his people. So now we live in the time between. We know the king and yet we do not fully live in his kingdom.

God show us how to live and glorify you. Help us to trust you even now and in the world where your kingdom is coming. I want to see your kingdom come even here and now in my life and this world! Use me for your work Lord. I sing praise to your name!
Amen
