Refuge in Our Righteous Lord (Psalm 11, Part 2)


In the Light (verses 4-7)

http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Ps%2011:4-7&version=NIV

The temple reflects God’s immanence; the throne reflects His transcendence. From His throne in heaven God sees all. He sees through all our pretences. Just as our righteous Lord loves justice, so should we. As we live just and upright lives, we will see the face of our Lord Jesus Christ, and reflect his face to others around us.

Thank You, Father-God, for Your light. Thank You that You remain both immanent and transcendent. Thank You for the righteousness You have given us through Your Son. Increase our righteousness and may we truly see and reflect Your face.

All my trust on thee is stayed,
      All my help from thee I bring;
Cover my defenceless head
      With the shadow of thy wing.
 Charles Wesley (1707-1788)
