The Lord is
the sovereign God - “The Lord is in His holy temple. The Lord’s throne
is in heaven” (Psalm 11:4). The Lord is the God of salvation - “But I
trust Your mercy. My heart finds joy in Your salvation. I will sing to
the Lord because He has been good to me” (Psalm 13:5-6). The sovereign
God, the God of salvation is our Helper - when we feel alone, forgotten
and oppressed (Psalm 12:1; Psalm 13:1; Psalm 14:3-4). His salvation is
not to be kept to ourselves. His joy is not only for ourselves. We are
to pray that others will receive His salvation and His joy: “Oh, that
salvation for Israel would come out of Zion!When the Lord restores the
fortunes of His people, let Jacob rejoice and Israel be glad!” (Psalm
14:7). In the face of all that opposes God, exalting itself against Him,
God is calling us to keep close to Him and to walk with Him: “O Lord,
who may stay in Your tent? Who may live on Your holy mountain? The one
who walks with integrity, does what is righteous, and speaks the truth
within his heart, the one who does not slander with his tongue, do evil
to friend, or bring disgrace on his neighbour ... He who does these
things will never be shaken” (Psalm 15).
