Every Knee Will Bow

"Psalm 65:1-13

Government of God

Do you realise how good God is? He loves you and wants you to enjoy his blessings today in your life. This psalm is all about the goodness of God. It paints a beautiful picture of what life can look like when lived under God’s rule. It helps us to meditate on his goodness.

God hears your prayers (v.2), he forgives your sins, even in those times in your life when you may feel ‘overwhelmed by sins’ (v.3). God’s forgiveness is amazing.

‘We are filled with the good things’ (v.4) being in his presence. He gives us ‘hope’ (v.5b) and ‘joy’ (v.8b).

We see his great love in the way he treats creation (the watering of the land, the provision of corn, crops, flocks, and so on, vv.9–13).

We don’t live in a society directly governed by God, but through Christ you have a direct relationship with God in your own personal life. You can follow his rule, and experience the blessing of God’s presence. This is one of the ways in which you can experience ‘the kingdom of God’ in your life.

Thank you, Lord, for your amazing goodness. Thank you that one day your kingdom will come and every knee will bow before Jesus and he will inherit the kingdoms of the earth and will rule rightly in a ‘new creation’."

1. Thank You simply for Jesus. Thank You that I have a direct relationship with God through Jesus.

2. Hallelujah for a great trip today. Although it rained, it went smoothly.

3. Thank You for always being with me in the perfect timing.
