Today’s Daily Lesson comes from Psalm 95 verses 1 through 4:
1 Come, let us sing to the Lord; *
let us shout for joy to the Rock of our salvation.
2 Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving *
and raise a loud shout to him with psalms.
3 For the Lord is a great God, *
and a great King above all gods.
4 In his hand are the caverns of the earth, *
and the heights of the hills are his also.
God is not only Lord of of the hills, but the caverns belong to God also.
This means God is Lord of the heights and the depths, the days where we stand tall and proud, and the nights when we crouch and hide. God is Lord when there is victory and defeat, hope and sorrow, life and death, love and loss.
Dear ones, I don’t know how your week has been. Perhaps you’ve hit both highs and lows, or maybe you are living in the spiritual stratosphere, or perhaps your soul has hit a new depth.
Regardless, remember that God sees all, knows all, is with all, and is — somehow — in all.
So be kind, be hopeful, be not dismayed, and know, as Julian of Norwich said, “all things shall be well; and all manner of things shall be well.”
