"They shall lift up their voice, they shall sing, for the majesty of the Lord they shall cry aloud from the sea... Therefore glorify the Lord in the dawning light." Isaiah 24:14-15a
The prophet Isaiah paints a picture in this chapter of the tribulation and problems all go through in this world. No one is exempt from them. However, those who sing and cry out to the Lord in praise to Him, even from the sea of our problems, will see the dawning light. At the end of this chapter Isaiah tells the end of the story: "For the Lord of hosts will reign on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem and before His elders, gloriously."
We do not need to get into distress and fear for the present or coming negative problems and events in our own personal lives and in the coming world's tribulation. The Lord is with us to strengthen us as we lift up our voices and glorify Him. He inhabits our praise.
What are you worried about today? Situations that are occurring or could occur and cause you or family harm? We need to be encouraged that our joy does not come from our surrounding circumstances, but rather from staying focused on the Lord and living lives of praise to Him no matter what life brings. He will reign gloriously in the end, and we will reign with Him! Hang in there, Church Chicks, everything will be righted in the end. Sing a song of praise to Him of His majesty today and make His praise glorious! Now that's something to smile about :)
