Psalm 24

Psalm 24 
English Standard Version (ESV)

  In this moment, I realized that what I need is a reminder that God is so much bigger than this instant, this week, this shelter-in-place time, however long it may be.  The God we worship is the God who founded the sea and set the rivers in their places, a God who knows the depths of the oceans and whose Spirit has soared above the mountains.  God's reign is bigger than this earth, and it cannot be shaken by the turmoil of this world, no matter how violently storms may rage.
  The Good News in all of this is that we may ascend to God's holy place, and we have the merit to stand there.  Certainly not by anything we've done -- no, if we were to attempt such a feat based on our own qualifications, no matter how good we may feel we're doing in life, we'd be cast out.  Instead, Christ selflessly gives us his perfect qualifications, and because the price has been paid, we receive blessing and righteousness.
  And so we are joined with an eternal kingdom.  The ancient doors that are lifted up welcome us as well.  No matter what happens today and tomorrow and next week, we are welcomed into this ancient and holy place, where the winds of time do not blow, where the rivers of change pass by, not through, where songs of lament are forgotten in favor of rejoicing.  My true home, the one that calls to the depths of our hearts, is beyond the reach of death.  Our God is bigger than the storm, and so we can look forward with confidence.
