In the Lord I Take Refuge: Daily Devotions Through the Psalms with Dane Ortlund

We today are led by the psalmist to “exalt the Lord our God”, but we do it with the greater knowledge that we are priests to the world—and this is true only because God sent his own Son to become the true and final great high priest, the priest who offered the ultimate sacrifice of his own life.

Are you grumbling today? Murmuring? Do you find yourself nursing wounds, wondering why God has made your life so hard? Repent. Consider that God is the one who formed the earth and made you. Above all, consider the divine “work” that you have experienced: the gracious giving of his own Son to suffer for your sins and restore you to himself.

This psalm speaks of the earth as God’s throne. On it he sits, ruling, comfortable, issuing commands and decrees. He orders the world; the world does not order him.
