Psalm 11

Psa 11:4 The LORD is in His holy temple, The LORD's throne is in heaven; His eyes behold, His eyelids test the sons of men.

I work in a cubicle. Tommy works in a shared office (with the coolest guy on earth). Others work from the highest levels of buildings. Others work on the stage. Others work in the Oval Office. Others work on the football field. Who is going to have more persuasive power in any given situation, Tommy and I or the man who works in the Oval Office, the stage, or the football field? Of course the guys in powerful positions.

The LORD is in a very powerful position. He is in His Holy Temple. The Lord's throne is heaven. Unlike the people of earth, the Lord is not powerful because of His position. Instead, Heaven and the Temple are powerful because of Him. He is the source of power, and it is far beyond persuasion.

The greatest thing about it all is, the Lord is on our side! The Allmighty is completely in love with me and you. Hence, David, the psalmist writes in verse one, "In the LORD I put my trust." David realizes that He who stands in the position of power is for him. Imagine living with the full realization that God, in the position of power, stands behind us. How would it effect your day? How would it effect the way you approach difficult decisions? How would it effect the way you handle your finances? How would it effect the way you conduct yourself in the midst of your fears? Realize where God is... and go live.
